ABSTRACT
In Mexico, in 1910, the issue of Diaz’s reelection came up again, despite all denials. Now the uneasiness among the middle classes led many to seek an alternative in General Bernardo Reyes, governor of Nuevo León. Further to the left, the anarchists, together with other people of varied ideological composition, basically heirs to the radical liberalism of the Juárez years, formed a Partido Liberal Mexicano (1906). This was very strange behavior for the libertarian current, of which Ricardo Flores Magón, in and out of jail and in exile in the United States, was the principal mentor. In fact, he belonged to a second generation of anarchists. The first one had been based among Mexico City artisans, along Proudhonian moderate lines. The new generation, formed toward the end of the century, was more violent, following international trends. 1
