protagonist of national policy from the citizen attempts to gain power through elections in 1988 to date. Three-time candidate for the Presidency of the Republic -1988, 1994 and 2000 - and candidate with the same aspiration in 2006. Is Cuauhtemoc Cardenas Solorzano, the son of General Lázaro Cárdenas del Río and Amalia Solorzano, the author of this autobiography or memoir, detailed in a voluminous illustrated with photographs and copy on your pages that reveals some of the events happening historic Mexico.
Member of the power elite, his father was president and in the view of many Mexicans the best in the twentieth century. Political system in its beginnings in public life. Civil Engineer from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. Michoacán was Senator, Deputy Governor of Michoacán Forestry and thank you for it had the approval and support of the President in each case, as was the policy at the time of absolute rule of public life by the Partido Revolucionario Institutional-PRI, and the control of this appliance by the incumbent president. Disagreed with this way of having the power and worked for democracy in their party without getting any change. And left there.
dissent in 1988 led the PRI and ran for a broad coalition of a set of left and centrist parties. On Wednesday July 6, 1988 the first known figures of the election gave him the victory. That same night the vote-counting system and fell silent. Through fraud was not recognized his triumph. He refused the system established by the PRI to democracy. I will say the way: That day I left Tampico my family in mid-morning, cross the river Panuco, and in the first box we found cast our votes and our voting credentials belonged to the state of Veracruz, Tamaulipas, even when she was at, I did for Heberto Castillo-nominated by the Party Mexican Socialist who had declined in favor of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, so my vote was for Cardenas, do not know if was or not. Cuauhtémoc explains in his book that became known detailed output of 35 thousand polling places that gave a result greater than 40% in their favor and never heard the detailed result of the other 25 000 boxes, with the results Miguel government de la Madrid Hurtado and the PRI system as a whole won the presidency to Carlos Salinas de Gortari harmful.
Actions unfamiliar Cardenas is his approach to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, EZLN, who revolted on 1 January 1994 and have been mediating between that organization and the Mexican government to resume negotiations at the beginning of 1995. His son Cuauhtémoc honor witnessed between the EZLN and representatives from the Interior Ministry to resume dialogue after the attempt of former President Ernesto Zedillo to annihilate the leadership the EZLN on February 9, 1995, which was the basis for subsequent negotiations that took the Commission to the Congress appointed for this purpose.
is abundant in information, a detailed first glance, the national events. It stressed its references to English exile in Mexico, which came when his father was president and intimate relationship with English Republicans, some of them Mexicans. Among the curious situation is reminiscent have been proposed and translator of the now former Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva in a meeting in Chicago, the translation was from Portuguese into English, with which Cardenas did not speak Portuguese or say that modesty does not know. His wife, Celeste Batel, was born in Lisbon.
Failure of Diplomacy (Rodolfo Echeverria, Mexico's ambassador to Spain): Refers Cardenas was invited by the Mayor Herminio Trigo-Izquierda Unida-city-to Cordoba, Spain unveil a bust in honor of his father. At the time of the ceremony, Veracruz Street, when the mayor unveiled Cárdenas Wheat and bust. Mexicans who were at the event showed surprise, the picture was not Lázaro Cárdenas was Benito Juárez.
Cardenas makes a critical review of what has happened to the Democratic Revolution Party, PRD, which he called a form to have an organization that allowed the rise to power of the Mexican left and warned to avoid fraud and 1988 and was the star of the Mexican people's struggles. It did not work and we had another major fraud in 2006. Expresses the author has neglected the interests of the nation by the leaders of the streams that make up the polity. He also recounts his distance from Andrés Manuel López Obrador from being involved him as a presidential candidate in 2000 and he ran for mayor of Federal District elected. Replica reproduces some texts of criticism from Enrique Semo, in his book The search-and Elena Poniatowska to an article in which he claimed his lack of support for López Obrador.
And still more memories of the steps of Cárdenas in Mexican politics. A lot would have helped that he had published before much of everything published here. Thank you count which, at first sight, what has happened in Mexico in the last four decades. No doubt a good reference text to see the recent history of Mexico.
