Gabriel Salazar Vergara, (Santiago 31 January 1936) is a Chilean historian. He is known in Chile for his study of social history and interpretations of social movements, particularly the recent student protests of 2006 and 2011-2012.

He studied history, sociology and philosophy at Universidad de Chile. Salazar used to be a member of the Revolutionary Left Movement until 1973.[1] In that year he was tortured in Villa Grimaldi by the military.[1]

2010-2012 social movements

Salazar describes the 2011-2012 Chilean student conflict as being the continuation of a long strife between popular citizen movements and civic and military dictatorships.[2] In October 2011, Salazar lead a campaign aiming to hold a citizen's plebiscite on the demands behind the 2011-2012 Chilean student protests.[3]

On June 2012 Salazar sparked a controversy by stating that student leader Camila Vallejo should quit the Communist Party of Chile if she was intelligent enough.[4][5]
