Claudia Gerlene Pizarro Peña (born 26 October 1964) is a Chilean politician and public administrator, militant from the Christian Democratic Party (DC).[2][3]
Of humble origins, Pizarro has been mayor of La Pintana since 2016, a working-class neighborhood in Santiago attacked by drug trafficking problems. In that way, since 2018, Pizarro has gained renown in fighting crime through her appearances in the TV media.[1]
Her parents Gilberto Avelino Pizarro Bustamante, and Iris del Carmen Peña Riveros met in the shantytown of La Victoria, in Pedro Aguirre Cerda, where Claudia Pizarro was born. In 1969, the family moved to the March 9th Committee, a sector of La Pintana that today is called 'Pablo de Rokha' in honor of the same poet.
Pizarro studied her basic education at School 108 and later continued at A-130 Technical Lyceum of San Bernardo, where she obtained a degree of Public Administration.[1] Once graduated, she began to work as a secretary.
