Party of the Cardenist Front of National Reconstruction: Difference between revisions

The PFCRN emerged in 1987 when the then [[Workers' Socialist Party (Mexico)|Socialist Workers Party]] (PST) was insuring major internal political problems, causing members of the PST to split politically. Eventually many members defected and set groundwork on a new political party, especially from former leader of the PST [[Rafael Aguilar Talamantes|Rafael Anguilar Talamantes]]. And from the cooperative Unión de Ejidos Majomut which was formed in 1979 from Protestants and coffee corporatives in [[Chiapas]] who opposed the [[Institutional Revolutionary Party]] and supported a campesino candidate backed by the ''Organización Regional Indigena de los Altos de Chiapas'' in [[Chenalhó|Chenalho]].<ref>{{Cite book |title=Mayan lives, Mayan utopias: the indigenous peoples of Chiapas and the Zapatista rebellion |date=2003 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-0-7425-1148-4 |editor-last=Rus |editor-first=Jan |series=Latin American perspectives in the classroom |location=Lanham, MD}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Solís |first=Daniel Villafuerte |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KzQqbUB7MrMC&q=Uni%C3%B3n+de+Ejidos+Majomut&pg=PA345 |title=La tierra en Chiapas, viejos problemas nuevos |date=1999-01-01 |publisher=Plaza y Valdes |isbn=978-968-856-727-2 |language=es}}</ref> And eventually members of the Ejidos Majomut merged a decade later during the [[1988 Mexican general election|1988 elections]] to form the Party of the Cardenist Front of National Reconstruction.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Rus |first1=Jan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mcjBAAAAQBAJ&dq=Uni%C3%B3n+de+Ejidos+Majomut+frente+cardenista&pg=PA141 |title=Mayan Lives, Mayan Utopias: The Indigenous Peoples of Chiapas and the Zapatista Rebellion |last2=Castillo |first2=Rosalva Aída Hernández |last3=Mattiace |first3=Shannan L. |date=2003-09-03 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield Publishers |isbn=978-1-4616-4005-9 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Moksnes |first=Heidi |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZN49qm2yMgMC&dq=Partido+Frente+Cardenista+de+Reconstrucci%C3%B3n+Nacional&pg=PA2005 |title=Maya Exodus: Indigenous Struggle for Citizenship in Chiapas |date=2013-07-29 |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |isbn=978-0-8061-5036-9 |language=en}}</ref>▼

According to what is said in its own statutes, the PFCRN would also have its foundation from the political and ideological thought of former president [[Lázaro Cárdenas]].▼

For the [[1988 Mexican general election|1988 federal elections]] , the PFCRN joined the [[National Democratic Front (Mexico)|National Democratic Front]] , nominating [[Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas|Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano]] as a candidate for the Presidency. Among the parties that supported the candidacy of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, the PFCRN was the one that capitalized on the greatest number of votes (9.37%) and managed to earn 38 seats in the chamber of deputies in the coalition [[National Democratic Front (Mexico)|National Democratic Front]]. This had the consequence that its candidates occupied the majority of the deputies that were recognized to the left alliance at that time [[LIV Legislature of the Mexican Congress|LIV Legislature]].▼
