Vicente Agustín Sota Barros (24 April 1924 – 16 August 2017) was a Chilean politician. He served two stints in the Chamber of Deputies, first from 1965 to 1969 and again from 1990 to 1998.
Career
Born in Talca on 28 April 1924, he earned a degree in industrial engineering from Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.{{cite news|title=Falleció Vicente Sota Barros uno de los fundadores del PPD|url=https://www.ppdchile.cl/fallecio-vicente-sota-barros-uno-los-fundadores-del-ppd/|accessdate=21 August 2017|agency=Party for Democracy|language=es}} Sota joined the National Falange in 1940, and upon the party's dissolution in 1957, became a member of the Christian Democratic Party. While affiliated with the PDC, Sota served in the Chamber of Deputies as a representative of central Santiago between 1965 and 1969. Shortly after the end of his first term in office, Sota cofounded the Popular Unitary Action Movement.
Sota left Chile for France after the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, where he spent thirteen years until returning to Chile in March 1986. The next year, Sota co-founded the Party for Democracy.
He won two more parliamentary elections after joining the PPD, in 1989 and 1993, representing district 31, which covered portions of Santiago from 1990 to 1998. Between November 1994 and March 1995, Sota served as President of the Chamber of Deputies of Chile.{{cite news|title=A los 93 años muere Vicente Sota ex diputado por Melipilla y Talagante|url=http://www.radioprensa.cl/a-los-93-anos-muere-vicente-sota-ex-diputado-por-melipilla-y-talagante/|accessdate=21 August 2017|agency=Radio Prensa|date=16 August 2017|language=es}}{{cite news|title=Falleció Vicente Sota, ex presidente de la Cámara de Diputados|url=http://www.economiaynegocios.cl/noticias/noticias.asp?id=389231|accessdate=21 August 2017|work=Economía y negocios|date=17 August 2017|language=es}}
