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.[1] More precisely, he is known for being a leading denialist of the human rights violations in Pinochet's Chile.[1]
For long time Hermógenes Pérez de Arce was a regular columnist in El Mercurio.[2] 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".[2]
In December 2019 Pérez de Arce was expelled from the TV program Bienvenidos by hostress Tonka Tomicic for his repeated denialist comments.[1][3] Subsequently, Senator Alejandro Navarro proposed a Chilean law against denialism dubbed "Ley Hermógenes".[4]
