Pedro Eduardo González García (24 August 1903 – 26 December 1953) was a Chilean lawyer and politician. A leader of the Radical Socialist Party in northern Chile, he served as deputy for the Second Departmental Grouping of Tocopilla, El Loa, Antofagasta and Taltal between 1933 and 1937.[1]
González García was born in Coronel on 24 August 1903, the son of Pedro María Segundo González Rocha and Hortensia García Donoso. He studied at the Seminario of Concepción and later read law at the University of Chile, qualifying as a lawyer on 22 December 1927. His graduation thesis, titled “Reformas religiosas, sociales, electorales, económicas y políticas de la Constitución del año 33, promulgadas el 18 de septiembre de 1925. Efectos del parlamentarismo”, received an award from the Chilean Bar Association.[1]
He practiced law in Tocopilla until 1932. He married María Pizarro, with whom he had seven children.[1]
In Tocopilla, he was director of the newspaper La Opinión and contributed political articles. He also acted as legal counsel for employees and workers in the northern region, who later strongly supported his parliamentary candidacy.[1]
