Hernán Larraín

Summary
Hernán Larraín Fernández (born September 21, 1947) is a conservative Chilean lawyer, university lecturer, and politician; he served as the Chilean Minister of Justice and Human rights, appointed by president Sebastián Piñera, between 2018 and 2022. Larraín's former public service positions include a Senate seat representing the 11th district, the Maule Region (1994-2010), the Presidency of the Senate (2004-2005) and the presidency of the Independent Democratic Union (Unión Demócrata Independiente, UDI) from 2006 to 2008 and 2015–2017. The UDI is a conservative political party with strong links to the Opus Dei, that opposes abortion and has historically supported Augusto Pinochet dictatorship. His appointment as Minister of Justice and Human rights has been controversial despite his attempt to distance himself from the UDI's ideology regarding human rights to achieve a more conciliatory tone as a minister. Larraín is married to Magdalena Matte, a Chilean civil engineer, businesswoman
