Fernando Cisterna Ortiz (22 August 1904 – 30 April 1970) was a Chilean dentist and politician affiliated with the Radical Party of Chile.[1]
He served as a Deputy of the Republic during the XXXIX (1941–1945) and XL (1945–1949) Legislative Periods, representing the 2nd Departmental Group: Antofagasta, Tocopilla, El Loa and Taltal.[1]
Early life and education
Cisterna was born in La Serena to Alfredo Cisterna and Amelia Ortiz. He studied at the Boys’ High School of Talca and later at the Valentín Letelier High School in Santiago.[1]
He graduated as a dentist from the University of Chile in 1927 with a thesis titled Generalidades de prótesis dental (“Generalities of Dental Prosthesis”).[1]
Professional career
He practiced dentistry in Chuquicamata, and also worked as a dentist for the Chilean Army, Carabineros de Chile, the Workers’ Insurance Fund, and the School Dental Service.[1]
A member of the Radical Party since 1920, he served as vice-president of its Santiago Centre and presided over the party assembly in Chuquicamata.[1]
Parliamentary career
Cisterna was elected Deputy for the 2nd Departmental Group (Antofagasta, Tocopilla, El Loa and Taltal) for the 1941–1945 term. He served on the Standing Committee on Medical-Social Assistance and Hygiene.[1]
He was re-elected for the 1945–1949 term, during which he joined the Standing Committee on Government and Interior.[1]
In August 1947 he accepted a diplomatic post for Chile in Switzerland. His replacement in the Chamber was José Avilés Avilés, who won the complementary election with 7,377 votes.[1]
Later life
After the end of the Radical administration in 1952, Cisterna retired from politics and returned to his professional work. In the 1964 presidential election he supported the candidacy of Julio Durán Neumann, serving as general campaign chief for northern Chile.[1]
