Martínez has been a professor of Roman law at various Chilean universities, such as the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso or the Universidad de Los Andes. Similarly, in 2013, he was a high-rank consultant in the Minister of Education.
In November 2019, his work as Intendant was heavily criticized by the progressivist media and politicians during the 2019 Chilean protests[2] –Estallido Social (or «Social Outbreak»)–. Similarly, the leftist parliamentary, Diego Ibáñez (from Social Convergence), tried to organize an impeachment against him.[3][4]
