| Sumario: | In 1824, in order to affirm itself as an independent nation, the Mexican government took out a loan with English bankers. Back payments and interest accumulated over a period of fifty years until the government renegotiated the debt with the financiers and tried to get the renegotiation ratified by Congress. The proposal unleashed a tremendous opposition, one that spilled out into the streets and resulted in many wounded and dead. In Congress, some of the finest minds of the times were pitted against one another, men such as Guillermo Prieto, Salvador Díaz Mirón, Francisco Bulnes, and Justo Sierra, among others. These minds represented two irreconcilable visions of the world, of politics and of society. Based on the newspaper THE DAILY DEBATES OF CONGRESS, on other official documents, and on pieces about the congressional debates from the Mexican press of the era, this article analyses the different forms and spaces of violence, and the reasons behind as well as the passions underlying the debate. |
