Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado

Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado was the President of Mexico from 1982 to 1988, a period marked by significant economic challenges and political changes in the country. His administration is often remembered for its efforts to modernize Mexico and address corruption, but it also faced criticism for its handling of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake and the rise of drug-related violence. His legacy remains a topic of discussion in Mexican politics, particularly in relation to the drug wars that intensified during and after his presidency.
