Emilio Zapata Díaz (11 May 1896 – 15 May 1977) was a Chilean trade unionist and politician who served as a deputy of the National Congress of Chile.[1]
Zapata Díaz was born in Santiago on 11 May 1896, the son of Delfín Zapata Campos and Ana Díaz Garrido. He married Graciela del Carmen Salas Pinto in Santiago on 23 February 1938, with whom he had two daughters.[1]
Zapata worked as a laborer (obrero) and became active in the rural labor movement. He was a peasant trade union leader and, in 1935, founded the League of Poor Peasants (Liga de Campesinos Pobres). He was also a member of the National Housing Front (Frente Nacional de la Vivienda).[1]
