HEGRON, Bastien. Cardenist Mexico, a Political Model for the French Left?. Secuencia [online]. 2023, n.116, e2059.  Epub 09-Jun-2023. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i116.2059.

The following paper focuses on analysing how Lazaro Cárdenas politics were a model to the French left. Suffering negatives clichés of being a violent and “Bolshevik” country, Mexico also provoked admiration and interest among the French. Cardenist Mexico seemed to cause a hope for left parties which were on the verge of governing France. Segments insisted in Mexico antifascist politic and its help to Spanish republic, or they showed Mexico as an alternative example to Soviet Union. Furthermore, the Mexican oil expropriation in 1938 was perceived as a bold anticapitalistic decision that should be applied in France. So, the elements of admiration and interests expressed by French left journals are presented. Therefore, it is possible to consider that Cardenismo also appeared to be a model to the French left.
