He served as regidor and mayor of Santa Cruz, Chile and was elected deputy for three consecutive terms from 1965 to 1973, representing the 10th Departmental Grouping, which was composed by San Fernando and Santa Cruz.

Political career During his time in Congress, Marambio was active in the Permanent Commission of Agriculture and Colonization and was a staunch defender of agricultural workers’ rights. His political engagement made him a key figure in the struggle for social justice in Chile.

He died on 31 December 1973 in Santa Cruz, Chile, shortly after the military coup that interrupted his last term in office. His legacy endures as a symbol of the fight for workers’ rights in the country.
