Pedro Cárdenas Núñez (29 June 1891 – 19 May 1952) was a Chilean politician of the Democratic Party.[1]
He was the son of Florinda Núñez and José Santos Cárdenas, and married Raquel Oyaneder.[1] He worked in the graphic industry and in the Santiago Post Office, serving also as secretary of the Third Labor Court and head of the Social Insurance section.[1]
Political Activities
A member of the Democratic Party, he was elected Deputy for the 1st Metropolitan District (Santiago) for the 1933–1937 legislative period, joining the Permanent Committee on Internal Government and Regulations.[1] He was re-elected for 1937–1941, serving on the Committee on Constitution, Legislation and Justice.[1]
He was elected again for 1941–1945, joining the Committee on Treasury; and again for 1945–1949, serving on the Committee on Economy and Commerce.[1]
He won a fifth term for 1949–1953, serving once more on the Committee on Treasury. However, he died in office in May 1952, less than a year before the new legislative period began; therefore, according to Chilean law, no by-election was held and the seat remained vacant.[1]
Social Activities
He served as president of the Unión Social Mutualista and was a contributing member of the societies La Aurora, Choferes Manuel Montt and Unión de Tipógrafos. He was also director and later president of the Social Club “Zenón Torrealba” in Santiago.[1]
