History
Initial History and Life as a Political Party
The PFCRN emerged in 1987 when the then Socialist Workers Party (PST) lost the election in 1985 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 Chenalho and eventually members of the Ejidos Majomut emerged a decade later during the 1988 elections as the Party of the Cardenist Front of National Reconstruction[2][3]
According to what is said in its own statutes, the PFCRN would also have it’s foundation from the political and ideological thought of former president Lázaro Cárdenas.
For the 1988 federal elections , the PFCRN joined the National Democratic Front , nominating 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 vote. 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 .
Dissolution
After the following Federal elections in 1994, the party obtained less than 1% of the votes. Three years later In 1997, the PFCRN attempted to restructure its image by adopting a simpler name, the Cardenista Party (PC) (Spanish: Partido Cardenista; PC) In that year, the PFCRN participated in the first elections for Head of Government of the Federal District and nominating the well-known journalist, Pedro Ferriz Santa Cruz as candidate. After another electoral failure in the 1997 Mexican legislative election after it failed to secure 2.0% of the total votes, the Cardenista Party lost its registration definitively and dissolved later that year.
