Hermógenes Pérez de Arce Ibieta
Hermógenes Pérez de Arce Ibieta (born 10 January 1936) is a Chilean lawyer and politician who served as deputy during Salvador Allende's government. In his country, he is commonly known for being a fierce supporter of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. More precisely, he is known for being a leading denialist of the human rights violations in Pinochet's Chile. For long time Hermógenes Pérez de Arce was a regular columnist in El Mercurio. He is also a writer and has written several books. In 2003 he was homaged in Casa Piedra by hard-line Pinochetists for "rescuing the historical truth of Chile". In December 2019 Pérez de Arce was expelled from the TV program Bienvenidos by hostress Tonka Tomicic for his repeated denialist comments. Subsequently, Senator Alejandro Navarro proposed a Chilean law against denialism dubbed "Ley Hermógenes". See also
