Inequality in times of wealth

Social inequality and the concentration of wealth. It is true that, during the Porfiriato, our country had significant economic growth. However, the wealth was distributed in a few national hands and in a few foreign ones.

There was no freedom of expression. The press was prohibited from expressing any type of opinion against the government and strikes were prohibited for all sectors.

Political freedom did not exist. That is, the people could not elect any representative within the state or federal powers. These were imposed by Porfirio Díaz, who, despite being against re-election, remained in power for more than 30 years.

Despite the promotion of higher education, the quality of popular education decreased. In fact, 80% of the population was illiterate.

Abuse of the working class

Dispossession of land from peasants. Díaz made a series of reforms to the legislation that facilitated the entry of foreign companies to take over “vacant lands” which in reality belonged to indigenous people, peasants or very poor people who did not have the money to work their lands and were dispossessed. of them.

Workers and peasants lacked labor protection, which meant they were exposed to overexploitation. Most workers even had to work more than 12 hours for a salary of 75 cents.

Repression and use of force. The working conditions were terrible, however, when workers and peasants tried to express their discontent, they were brutally repressed. An example is the murder of workers during the Cananea Strike (1906) and Río Blanco (1907).

Creation of "Latifundios". Large haciendas usually belonged to a few owners while the majority of Mexicans died of hunger.

Haciendas: homesteads/farms set on rural and agricultural land in all Spanish-speaking countries of colonial background.

Cananea Strike: It was a strike where more than one hundred Mexican miners died for wanting to defend their rights and hundreds more were locked up in prison.
