Ángel Veas Alcayaga (11 August 1904 – 22 February 1948) was a Chilean labour leader and parliamentarian who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies between 1941 and 1945.[1]
Veas Alcayaga was born in Huamalata, near Ovalle, Chile, on 11 August 1904. He was the son of working-class parents and entered the mining industry at an early age, eventually becoming a leader of nitrate workers’ unions in northern Chile.[1]
He was affiliated with the Communist Party. During the period in which the party was excluded from the electoral registry, he ran for office under the banner of the National Progressive Party.[1]
