Abraham Nuncio: Another Embassy pact?

AND

l known with the name of Embassy pact either Citadel Pact It is a polymencing episode, but little spread in its interlore. For some there was only Victoriano Huerta, who gave President Francisco I. Madero a coup d’etat; For others there were also such Henry Lane Wilson, an ambassador of the US conspired with the opposition so that the coup was realized. Few, they remember the coup day known as a tragic dozen, where that coup d’etat is fulfilled. And not much more.

The oligarchs promoted by the long dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and those who served them began to conspire against the new political situation that announced and intended to deploy with great difficulties the government of Madero. The vertex of the military who medraped during the Porfiriato was linked to that elite. Soon, General Félix Díaz, Bernardo Reyes and Victoriano Huerta were announced as their advanced.

Félix Díaz was, during his practice as an opponent, an opportunistic and failed military. He saved his life in his first uprising against Madero (1912), when he was defeated and sentenced in martial trial to the death penalty. Francisco S. Carbajal, president of the Supreme Court, suspended this sentence and commuted it to a prison.

General Bernardo Reyes, after leaving Nuevo León’s command, was sent to France with a military diplomatic task. When he returned to Mexico, Madero was heading to the Presidency of the Republic. After expressing loyalty to the flag bearer of democracy he settled in Texas from where he collected weapons and money to launch against his government with the plan of loneliness. In the document he considered the Republic in a low anarchic situation The bastard power of the citizen Francisco I. Madero. So his objective was to fulfill “the patriotic yearning to free the country humiliated by a demagogic tyranny, the effort to restore the order and the urgent need to settle the empire of the Constitution … Restabulating the free zone of the northern border and offering, very solemnlythe effectiveness of suffrage in order to review, among other things, the law of bell and – it was more – moderate all kinds of taxes.

Their judgments and promises had an authoritarian government of almost as many years as those that Díaz remained in his, responding with great fluency to the interests of the industrialists of Monterrey and fighting his adversary to blood and fire in an electoral campaign where he was not popular.

Victoriano Huerta, after distinguishing himself in his military file by the shakes pacification With extermination methods against Yaquis y Maya, he was the head of public works of kings.

The thunderstorm trio calculated that he could not overthrow Madero with his own forces and call, and welcomed the good offices of the US ambassador. At his headquarters he was forged and decided, in secret, the execution of the coup d’etat that led to the arrest and death of Madero and José María Pino Suárez as a prelude to the capture of the presidency by Huerta.

In the feast of being able, they participated, by way of members of the Cabinet, characters such as Manuel Garza Aldape; as Secretary of the Interior, he induced Huerta to dissolve Congress; Federico Gamboa, member writer of the Catholic Party, Brief Chancellor; Enrique Gorostieta González, who alternated in the Secretariats of Justice and Finance: key man in two of the historical influences of Mexico: that of the industrialists of Monterrey (his daughter Ana María was married to Luis G. Sada, one of his leaders), and the Catholic influence: his son Enrique was the general who chief of the cristero army; José López Portillo y Rojas, one of the three Secretaries of Foreign Relations, who was a jurist, novelist and politician, a member, otherwise, of a family inclined to power: his father was Secretary of State of Maximiliano I and his grandson, the PRI president of the same name; Ángel García Peña, Secretary of War (first with Madero; then with Huerta); Aureliano Blanquet, Second Secretary of War, whose military atrocities and vault rewarded Madero holding it in the position against Genuine Maderistas, only to be one of those responsible for his murder during the coup; Manuel Mondragón, general blood, inventor and Porfirista writer contrary to Madero and one of the three secretaries of war; Toribio Esquivel Obregón, although a member of the National Antirelectionist Party, founded by Madero, criticized his policies, especially the Agrarian Politics, was secretary of the Treasury and Public Credit.

The coup d’etat look like a lightning lightning. No: they are cooked over low heat. Threatened can perceive them, but do not make the appropriate decisions. Behind the blow to Madero was the most prominent sector in the industry, a core of refocilated intellectuals in heights outside the people, the media we call corporate today headed by The impartialof Porfirist origin; The Catholic Church, the everlasting group of Chaqueteros politicians and military and, of course, Washington’s interventionist in ambassador.

With other clothes and names, today the actors themselves are present. They are potential coup plotters. Serious mistake would be to dismiss your profile.
