Juan Guerra Guerra (15 April 1897 – 23 February 1973) was a Chilean miner, labor leader and communist parliamentarian who served two consecutive terms in the Chamber of Deputies during the Popular Front era.[1]
Guerra Guerra was born in Tierra Amarilla, Chile, on 15 April 1897. He was the son of Elisa Guerra.[1]
From an early age he worked as a miner, laboring in various mining operations in northern Chile, including Viuda de Caldera, Guías de California (Inca de Oro), Manco Verde, Dulcinea, Colorada, Nueva Tocopilla and Plata de la Chilex. In 1917 he worked in Chuquicamata, in the San Rafael, Emilia and Poderosa mines. He later worked as a driver at the María Elena nitrate mine.[1]
He married Berta Herminia Herrera Herrera in Antofagasta on 9 July 1923. The couple had eight children. Later in life he maintained a long-term relationship with María Josefina Amanda Lazo Morán, a primary school teacher, with whom he had two additional children. He later contracted a third marriage with Georgina Plaza Zárate, with whom he had one child.[1]
