Fidel Edgardo Espinoza Sandoval (born 24 January 1970) is a Chilean teacher and politician, affiliated with the Socialist Party. He served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 2006 to 2022, and since March 2022 has been serving as a senator representing the Los Lagos Region. He is known for his confrontational style, strong media presence, and active role in political oversight within the National Congress. The son of historic Socialist leader Luis Espinoza, his political career has been marked by a strong territorial focus and a discourse centered on defending rural communities and southern Chile. Espinoza has been involved in several controversies both within and outside his party, clashing with factions of his own political group—particularly over issues of integrity, political alliances, and internal leadership. Throughout his career, he has held important positions such as President of the Chamber of Deputies (2017–2018), from which he promoted an agenda focused on political control and transparency. Despite tensions within the ruling coalition, he has managed to maintain a solid electoral base in the Los Lagos Region, establishing himself as one of the most visible figures of contemporary Chilean socialism.
