Mexico: The legacy of Lazaro Cardenas and Juarismo

By Radio Bilingüe
Published March 14, 2025

FRIDAY, MARCH 21
PROGRAM #10721 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

This week, Mexico celebrated two holidays: The anniversary of the Mexican Oil Expropriation, when President Lazaro Cardenas nationalized the entire oil industry and faced the threat of foreign companies and governments, and created the state-owned oil company PEMEX. And the Day of Benito Juarez, Mexico’s first indigenous president and a central figure in Mexico’s liberalism who went down in history as a champion of the laws that enshrined the separation of church and state and his resistance to French intervention. Historians examine the legacy of Juarismo and the Cardenas experience and vision, in light of today’s political reality.
