The announcement was made through the network, uploading a video to the popular Internet site YouTube.

==Biography==
Father of two children, studied Journalism in 1973 at the Universidad de Chile. Publicist and Certified Public Relations. Studied in Political Science at the University of Chile. Collegiate member of Public Relations and Advertising. Studied at The Mackay School, Viña del Mar, and Liceo José Victorino Lastarria, Santiago.
Direct advisor to former President Pinochet in the aforementioned matters for more than 25 years. Undercover private secretary, or in the shadows, of the former president from the beginning of 1972 until 1994.
Once the [[Military Government (Chile)|Military Government]] ended, he stopped working in those areas, being unemployed and politically persecuted from 1999. Townsend defends unconditionally the government of the Armed Forces and of Order, as well as the honorability of President Pinochet.
He has been persecuted in a blatant manner by the governments of the Concertación; suffering the humiliations of jail for two years, abandonment and deprivation for many decades, acquitted of all charges in an enforceable sentence of 30/08/2008 for lack of complainants and crimes. For obvious reasons, he has almost no affinity with the Marxist left; nephew of former President Pinochet, son of a deceased sister and for having worked with the former president, whom he knows to the fullest and knows that his hands are clean and his conscience too as he describes.
He left his professional work in 1990 and in 1997 he decided to live in [[Puerto Montt]], where he was a partner in a small clothing factory for the hotel industry. Without giving up what he started in 1990, defending the image of President Pinochet, the work of the Government of the Armed Forces and Order and recovering the historical truth, he continues to maintain it until today and always. So that never against in Chile a Marxist regime installs, and leads the country to a confrontation, provoked by a minority and that caused and/or can cause so much pain.<ref>{{cite book|title=Presidente Pinochet, Libertador de Chile Por La Verdad Histórica|date=2009|author=Gonzalo Townsend Pinochet|language=es}}</ref>
In 1994 he was accused of using blank checks with the signature of the then treasurer of the Magallanes soccer club, Gonzalo Soto Rivas, who filed the accusation.
In 2002 he was sentenced to 5 years in prison for these crimes, but after the corresponding appeals, the Court decided to acquit him of all charges, as the accusations made by the plaintiff were not proven.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lacuarta.com/cronica/noticia/townsend-pinochet-estuve-15-anos-muerto-en-vida/160670/|title=Townsend Pinochet: "Estuve 15 años muerto en vida"|language=es|date=July 31, 2008|publisher=La Cuarta}}</ref>
