As president, he nationalized electric companies, created the National Commission for Free Textbooks (1959) and promoted the creation of prominent museums such as the Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Declaring his political philosophy to be "left within the Constitution," López Mateos was the first left-wing politician to hold the presidency since Lázaro Cárdenas. ==Life== López Mateos was born in Atizapán de Zaragoza to Mariano Gerardo López y Sánchez Roman, a dentist, and Elena Mateos y Vega, a teacher. According to official records, a small town in the state of México, though at a young age his family moved to Mexico City upon his father's death. Nevertheless, there is a birth certificate and several testimonies archived at El Colegio de México that place his birth on 10 September 1909, in Patzicía, Guatemala. In 1929 he graduated from the Scientific and Literary Institute of Toluca, where he was a delegate and student leader of the Socialist Labor Party. He served as the private secretary to Col. Filiberto Gómez, the governor of the state of Mexico.〔Cecilia Greaves Lainé, "Adolfo López Mateos" in ''Encyclopedia of Mexico'', vol. 1, p. 758. Chicago: Fitzroy and Dearborn 1997.〕 In 1929, as a speaker he supported the presidential campaign of José Vasconcelos — an opposition candidate — against the presidential campaign of Pascual Ortiz Rubio. In 1934, he became the private secretary of the president of the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (PNR), Carlos Riva Palacio.〔Lainé, "Adolfo López Mateos" p. 758.〕 He filled a number of bureaucratic positions from then until 1941, when he met Isidro Fabela. Fabela helped him into a position as the director of the Literary Institute of Toluca〔Lainé, "Adolfo López Mateos" p. 758〕 after Fabela resigned the post to join the International Court of Justice. López Mateos became a senator of the state of Mexico in 1946. He served until 1952, when he became the Secretary of Labor under president Adolfo Ruiz Cortines. As Secretary of Labor, López Mateos managed well in difficult circumstances, defusing many labor strikes and pursuing a conciliatory rather than confrontational policy. However, the teachers and railway workers movements "managed to endanger the stability of the regime."〔 In 1958, he was elected president of Mexico as the candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, and served until 1964. López Mateos was the first chairman of the Organization Committee of the 1968 Summer Olympics and called the meeting that led to the creation of the World Boxing Council. Plagued with migraines during his adult life, he was diagnosed with several cerebral aneurysms, and, after several years in a coma, he died in 1969 of an aneurysm.〔Cecilia Greaves Lainé, "Adolfo López Mateos" p. 759.〕 His ex-wife Eva Sámano was buried next to him in the Panteon Jardín in Mexico City following her death in 1984.〔:es:Eva Sámano〕 President Carlos Salinas de Gortari later had the remains of them both moved to López Mateos's birthplace in Mexico state and a monument erected to him there.〔 Salinas's father Raúl Salinas Lozano had been a cabinet minister in López Mateos's government and passed over to be the next president of Mexico.〔Jane Bussey, "Carlos Salinas de Gortari" in ''Encyclopedia of Mexico'', vol. 2, p. 1330.〕 The reburial of López Mateos's remains in the place now named Ciudad López Mateos in Mexico state rather than remaining in the national capital could be interpreted as political in various ways. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adolfo López Mateos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
