Jaime Francisco Mulet Martínez (born 3 August 1963) is a Chilean politician and lawyer.[2][3] He has served multiple terms as a deputy in the Chamber of Deputies of Chile and is currently the president of the political party Federación Regionalista Verde Social (FRVS).[4] Throughout his career, Mulet has been associated with various political movements, starting with the Christian Democratic Party and later aligning with regionalist and environmental platforms.[4]
Mulet studied law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and initially worked as a lawyer, particularly in matters related to mining and regional development.[4] He was first elected to Congress in 1998, representing the Atacama Region, and was re-elected in 2002 and 2006.[4] Over time, he distanced himself from the Christian Democratic Party due to disagreements over political direction and alliances, and eventually founded FRVS in 2015.[4]
In 2025, Mulet participated as a presidential pre-candidate in the primary elections of the Apruebo Dignidad coalition.[5] He did not win the nomination, but his candidacy reflected the continuing role of regionalist perspectives within broader political debates in Chile.[5][6]
He is the son of Jaime Mulet and Olga Martínez.[4] His childhood and adolescence took place in northern Chile, which deeply shaped his regionalist vocation.[4]
He studied at the San Francisco High School in Vallenar, where he stood out for his student leadership. He later enrolled in the Law School of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, where he earned his law degree.[4]
