The article focuses on social, political and economic problems in Mexico. Mexico knew at the time and knows today what the presidency of General Lázaro Cárdenas meant in the evolution of the country. Mexico had seen the President traveling to the remotest corners of the country, visiting the most humble villages, instilling in the whole population a new revolutionary fervor. The problem of the presidential succession presented greater difficulties than at any other time in the modern history of Mexico, difficulties so great that some people thought the only solution was to forget the classic rule of no re-election and to put Cárdenas in office again.
