Pablo Longueira
Juan Pablo Longueira Montes (born August 12, 1958) is a Chilean politician and civil engineer who served as Minister of Economy, Development and Tourism of Chile from 2011 to 2013. He was a founding member of the Independent Democratic Union (UDI) being very close to Jaime Guzmán.
Within the UDI he led the social-conservative camp, which coexisted with Jovino Novoa's liberal-conservative faction. The faction led by Longueira was characterised by its political work in poor sectors.
During the 1980s, he earned a reputation of a boots on the ground politician who aided shanty town dwellers. Longueira served as a Senator before being appointed by President Sebastián Piñera to serve in the Cabinet. He was previously a deputy from 1990 until 2006.
Following a retirement from politics since his aborted presidential candidacy in 2013 in 2020 Longueira announced his return to politics. His comeback has so far been marked by failed bids to the UDI presidency and the Constitutional Convention and the voluntary end of his membership in UDI.
In connection to his ministerial work during the first Piñera administration Longuera is facing corruption charges, including bribery and tax evasion.
Longeira begun his political career in 1981 when he was appointed president of FECECh, an organisation aimed to replace the original student federation of the University of Chile which was staunchly anti-Pinochet. His first speech at University of Chile Student Federation was written by his mentor Jaime Guzmán. In 1986 he led a picket against US senator Ted Kennedy who was visiting Chile.
On March 30, 2007, he launched his candidacy for President in the 2009 presidential election, but cancelled his bid on May 3.
On April 29, 2013, Mr. Longueira was nominated by the UDI as its candidate for the 2013 presidential election, replacing Laurence Golborne. On 30 June 2013, Longueira won the primary election of the right-wing coalition Alianza por Chile with the 51.37% of the vote against the candidate of National Renewal, Andrés Allamand, becoming the only candidate of the coalition for the 2013 presidential election. On 17 July 2013, Longueira abruptly withdrew his candidature, citing personal health problems as a reason.
