Pedro Nolasco Muga González (4 January 1917 – 10 September 2006) was a Chilean politician, member of the National Falange and later the Christian Democratic Party. He served as deputy between 1957 and 1969, and as mayor of Iquique from 1950 to 1953.[1]

Biography

Muga was the son of Pedro Muga and Herminia González. He married Irma Ramírez, with whom he had two children.

He studied at the Colegio Salesianos of Iquique. He worked until 1950 in the English railways of Iquique as accounting secretary. Later he joined the shipping agency of the Compañía Salitrera Tarapacá y Antofagasta, where he became head of the ships section in 1956.

He began his political career as a member of the National Falange in 1944, being elected councilor of the Municipality of Iquique (1944–1949). He was then elected mayor of Iquique, serving from 1950 to 1953.

In 1956, he joined the newly created Christian Democratic Party. That same year he was a candidate in the by-election of 1 April 1956 for deputy of Tarapacá, but was defeated by Juan Luis Maurás of the Radical Party.[2]

He was later elected deputy for Arica, Iquique and Pisagua in 1957, serving until 1961, and participating in the Permanent Commission on Economy and Trade. Re-elected in 1961 for the 1961–1965 period, he sat on the Finance Commission. In 1965, he was re-elected once more, serving until 1969 and joining the Permanent Commission on Mining and Industry.
