Presidency of Adolfo Ruiz Cortines

Adolfo Ruiz Cortines was president of Mexico from 1952 to 1958, becoming the successor of Miguel Alemán, despite the fact that he believed in the work done by his predecessor and intended to continue with his regime, wanted to separate himself from him and do things in a different.

Adolfo Ruiz Cortines had a great interest in making the PRI known as a party for Mexico and all Mexicans.
One of the most important events of the presidency of Ruiz Cortines was that of giving women Mexicans the right to vote a year after he came to power, this event gave him much popularity to the PRI.
Another of the outstanding events of this presidential period was the "Economic Miracle" which was a stabilizing development model that brought with it high growth rates and low inflation. The consequences of this model meant that the Mexican peso was not devalued and the currency was stable, prices and wages were preserved, it gave a rational use to public spending, there was no need to borrow abroad, gave more vitality to the Mexican stock market allowing the entry of medium and small companies, it is in this way that stability is achieved economical.

It also creates the "Law on the responsibility of public officials", which today is known as "The Patrimonial Declaration", which, required public officials to present, when they accepted and left the post, all the documents proving that they had profited.
Ruiz Cortines maintained a good relationship with the United States, until the government of that country rejected an employment program for Mexicans in the United States.
But not everything was honey on flakes during the presidential period of Ruiz Cortines, there were uprisings of the IX section of the National Union of Education Workers, who demanded, among other things, the change of the union leader, freedom to choose their new leader and an increase wage; The government decides to suppress the vote and talk about the salary increase, this manages to calm the problem for the next two years, until that Otón Salazar, leader of the uprising, asks that elections be held in which the same old man won, so the IX section goes out to march by Mexico City and are attacked by grenadiers, the government decides to increase the salary of all teachers except those who made up the IX section.
The regime begins to decline little by little, in addition to the problems with the teachers' union, people began to question about the invasions peasants of which some owners of producing land had been victims, the peasants begin to pressure the government to remove the invaders, before this pressure the government responded by sending the police and the army who participated in the massacre of peasants, which, remained in secret.
After a presidency full of ups and downs, as was very common at that time, Ruiz Cortines cared about finding a candidate to replace him, someone capable of being a a good leader among politicians, peasants and workers, that candidate was the then Secretary of Labor Adolfo López Mateos who swept the elections presidential.
