'''Gonzalo Eduardo Townsend Pinochet''' (b. [[Valparaíso]] September 23, 1951) is a [[Chile]]an Journalist, Political Scientist and YouTuber, nephew of General and [[President of Chile|President]] [[Augusto Pinochet Ugarte]] and from Justice Minister, Mónica Madariaga.

Townsend is the creator of the YouTube Channel "Verdad Histórica" (Historical Truth) in which is dedicated to comment about current politics as well as history of the [[Military Government (Chile)|Military Government]].

He has one of the first right-wing political channels of Chile as it was created on April 9, 2007.

He tried to create a party called "National Liberation" the same year, a part of the "Pinochetist Unitary Action" movement that he also created.

The announcement was made through Internet, uploading a video to YouTube (something new in that time). In the video, Townsend Pinochet pointed out that this new referent seeks to be an alternative to a [[Concertación]] that persecutes the military and to a right wing that is inconsistent and disloyal to his uncle and his regime.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.emol.com/noticias/nacional/2007/07/12/262380/sobrino-de-augusto-pinochet-anuncio-creacion-de-partido-politico.html|title=Sobrino de Augusto Pinochet anunció creación de partido político|date=July 12, 2007|language=es|publisher=Emol}}</ref>
