Óscar Daniel Jadue Jadue[a] (born 28 June 1967) is a Chilean architect, sociologist and Marxist politician.[b] A member of the Communist Party of Chile (PCCh), Jadue served as Mayor of Recoleta since 2012 until his dismisal in July 22, 2024.

A Chilean of Palestinian Christian descent, Jadue originally became involved in politics as a Palestinian independence activist. From 1987 to 1991, Jadue served as president of General Union of Palestinian Students. During his career, Jadue has worked as a commercial architect, policy advisor, and scholar. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to achieve elected office, Jadue was elected to govern Recoleta, a commune in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, in 2012. In this capacity, he has presided over the creation of "people's pharmacies", a series of municipal-run drugstores to provide patients with affordable medication.[2]

Jadue was a presidential candidate in the Apruebo Dignidad primaries,[3] in which he lost the race against Gabriel Boric.[4][5][6][7][8]

On June 3, 2024, Daniel Jadue entered preventive prison, ordered by Judge Paulina Moya Jiménez, after the lawsuit that businessman Álvaro Castro, owner of Best Quality Products SpA, presented against Archifarp (Asociación Chilena de Farmacias Populares) and Jadue himself as Major of Recoleta Municipality, acussing of a millionaire debt on the sell of boxes of N95 surgical masks, gloves and thermometers to Archifarp on 2020. [9][10] Daniel Jadue was finally released from prison during the investigation after the Tercer Juzgado de Garantía revocked preventive prison on the grounds of recommendations by the Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, according to Judge Paula Brito, after 91 days in preventive prison. Jadue left Anexo Capitán Yáber on September 2, 2024 and entered complete house arrest for whats left of the investigation. [11]
