Immanuel Holger Torres was a Chilean soldier and politician.
He served as Undersecretariat of the Chilean Navy between 1937 and 1938. During his tenure he passed the "cruise ship law".[1]
Additionally, he served as minister of the Interior under the government of president Gabriel González Videla, in two terms: from August 2, 1947, to July 7, 1948,[2] and from August 25, 1948, to February 27, 1950. He shut down the miners strikes in Lota in October 1947, declaring the provinces of Concepción and Arauco in a state of emergency.[3] He was accused of a constitutional violation in November 1947, which was rejected by a wide majority in the Chamber of Deputies.[4]
Later, he was head of the Naval Mission in Washington, D.C. (1950)[5] and intendant of the province of Concepción (1958).
