Las condiciones de la competencia en el norte del país

Abstract

The description of the actors and principal preferences in the northern states of Mexico constitutes the basic core of this article. In it, its author studies the singular characteristics that prevail in this part of the country in so far as to the political conceptions, including, as well, the different life-styles that differ, strongly in some instances, from the rest of the country. Likewise, profiles of the main political personalities of this zone, such as Francisco Barrio and Fernando Canales Clariond are reviewed, giving forth, according to the author, images of honest and efficient men, archetypes of the middle-class mentality. The analysis ends by comparing to the forces that the panismo has achieved in the northern states of the country, based mainly on the articulate discourse linked to the personalities of its inhabitants to its weakness in the southern states where it has not been able to develop the appropriate discourse.
