Teresa Marinovic

On 4 July 2021, Marinovic was invested as constituent. Nevertheless, that day was marked by riots outside the Pereira Palace, groups she harshly criticized and about –recording in live by Instagram through her cellphone– she had a tense debate with future president of the Convention Elisa Loncón, who told Marinovic "why did you came here to provoke?".

On 3 August 2021, she generated controversy after getting into a shouting match with Jaime Bassa, the vicepresident of the Convention.

At the end of 2020, she was proposed by José Antonio Kast's Republican Party to be included as a candidate for the Constitutional Covention, being finally registered with the Electoral Service on the list of «Vamos por Chile», the electoral pact of Chile Vamos (Piñera's coalition).

Through these platforms and her opinion columns, she has carried out political cyberactivism for different social causes, such as so that the owners who allocate their homes for themselves, do not pay more contributions that increase the price of housing in Chile, in addition to eliminate other taxes and payments to the State that, in her opinion, raise the cost of living in the South American country. She has been in favor of immigration in Chile —as a positive factor for the economy— but against irregular immigration, harshly criticizing the handling of this issue by recent governments. During the 2019–20 Social outbreak, she was against the mobilizations, even sarcastically commenting on an incident that occurred between a policeman and a young man. Marinovic called him a "criminal" and also asked about the health of the young man "who was swimming in the Mapocho [river]."

She received a degree in philosophy at the University of The Andes, where for ten years she worked as teacher in courses of philosophycal anthropology, theory of truth and theology. She has also worked as a columnist for the Chilean newspapers El Mostrador and Las Últimas Noticias, as well as in the multimedia area with Radio Bío-Bío. In 2018, she was appointed executive director of the Fundación Nueva Mente, a libertarian think tank.

She began to become known due to her publication video-opinion columns shared on social networks on the Internet, where she gave her point of view on matters of interest to the Chilean national public opinion. Her editorial line was tendingly social-conservative in value issues whereas liberal in economics. Likewise, she showed herself as an opponent to the governments of Michelle Bachelet (centre-left; 2014–2018) and Sebastián Piñera, whom she criticizes since the beginning of his centre-rightist second government (2018–2022).

Marinovic, of Croatian and Basque descent, attended secondary school at the Santa Úrsula School in Santiago. In 1991, she was accepted to the University of The Andes, where she received a philosophy degree with a focus on contemporary philosophy. She has stated that she supported Augusto Pinochet regime and still defends its political work despite what she calls its "non-systematic" human right violations.
