César Ruíz Danyau (born 26 October 1918 – 21 November 1990) was a Chilean military officer, politician and diplomat. He served in the National Air Force, in which he held the office of Commander-in-Chief between 1970 and 1973.[1][2] In August 1973, he formed part of President Allende's military-civilian cabinet as Minister of Public Works and Transportation, a post in which he lasted nine days until resigning after not resolving the truck drivers' strike. He left both the command-in-chief and the ministry on August 18, and after the September 11 coup that deposed Allende's government, collaborated with the military regime, being designated as Rector of Universidad de Chile (1973–1974) and finally as Ambassador to Japan (1979–1982). By the end of Pinochet's rule, he was nominated as Institutional Senator by the National Security Council (COSENA), in accordance with the Constitution of 1980, on the eve of the transition to democracy. He was sworn in on March 11, 1990, and remained in the post until his death in November that year.
