Eduardo Rodríguez Mazer (10 September 1902 – 18 July 1969) was a Chilean lawyer and Socialist Party politician.[1]

Biography

Family and education

He was born in Chillán to Miguel Antonio Rodríguez Fernández and Ana Luisa Mazer.[1] He studied at the Colegio San Pedro Nolasco and the Liceo de Hombres de Chillán, later enrolling at the University of Chile School of Law, where he earned his law degree in 1952 with the thesis Las huelgas y los conflictos colectivos del trabajo.[1]

He married Inés Goyenechea Zegarra in Antofagasta in 1940.[1]

Professional career

Rodríguez served as inspector of the Internado Nacional Barros Arana (1921–1924), an official of the Ministry of Education (1929–1937), and local head of the Antofagasta gold washing operations (1940–1941).[1]

He held various positions in the judiciary, beginning as secretary of the Conchalí Court (1945–1949). After receiving his law degree, he became secretary and then notary of Putaendo (1954), and later Notary and Registrar of Real Estate in Los Andes (1957–1961).[1]

Political career

He was a member of the Marxist Socialist Party, which merged in 1933 to form the current Socialist Party of Chile. Rodríguez served as secretary of the party’s first Central Committee, and was part of the regional leadership in Santiago and Antofagasta. He also founded the newspaper El Socialista, published in Antofagasta.[1]

In the 1941 Chilean parliamentary election he was elected Deputy for the 22nd Departmental Group (Valdivia, La Unión, Río Bueno) for the 1941–1945 term, joining the Committee on Constitution, Legislation and Justice.[1]

He was elected again in the 1949 Chilean parliamentary election, this time representing the 16th Departmental Group (Chillán, Bulnes, Yungay) for the 1949–1953 term, serving on the Committee on Foreign Relations.[1]
