Description |
English: "General Porfirio Diaz (1830-1915), President of Mexico, dominating. Diaz was re-elected to the Presidency for December 1, 1884. From that period until the present day (1919) he has held the office continuously seven Presidential terms, a régime which has partaken more of the nature of a hereditary sovereignty than of an elective post. It is to be recollected, however, that in all Spanish-American countries and Mexico has been no exception- intimidation and bribery at the polls and breaches of constitutional law have been potent factors in election matters."

Historical Note: General Porfirio Diaz Mori was the undisputed hero of the Battle of 5 de Mayo 1862, when as a young General he ordered the San Luis Rifles regiment to launch into the battlefield and prevent the French contingent from encircling the Mexican position. He was promoted by President Juarez upon General Zaragoza's recommendation. Don Porfirio chose to spare the lives of the French soliders and had them deported back to France. Many years later when he accepted French political asylum (after the convoluted Mexican Revolution was launched) he was welcomed in Paris with a State Reception and was awarded the Grand Cross of the French Legion of Merit and given Napoleon I sword he used at Austerlitz as a symbol of honour and respect. True Historians do not perpetuate the FALSE narrative of a dictatorship. He was Mexico's founding Father and created most of today's Mexican government Institutions and celebrated cultural landmarks like the Angel of Independence, which he commissioned for the 100 years of Mexico's Independence from Spain. He was the most influential and consequential President of all Mexican history to this day. Source: Centre de documentation de l'Ecole militaire. Paris |
