The Nationalist Party of Mexico (Spanish: Partido Nacionalista de México, also known as the Partido Nacionalista Mexicano, PNM) is a defunct political party of Mexico. It obtained formal registration as a national party on 4 June 1951[1] after operating, since 1934, as a political grouping of various Roman Catholic organizations under the names Partido Social Cristiano, Partido Social Demócrata Cristiano, Movimiento Unificador Nacionalista Sindical and Movimiento Unificador Nacionalista.[2][3]

The driving force behind the party during its existence was the Mexico City lawyer Salvador Rivero y Martínez.[4]

Its registration was cancelled by the Secretariat of the Interior (SEGOB) on 30 March 1964 – two days before the start of candidate registrations for the 1964 elections – after a period of confused infighting between three factions that claimed control over the party.[4][5][6]

Electoral history

In the 1952 presidential election the PNM supported the ultimate winner, Adolfo Ruiz Cortines of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[7][8] In the legislative election held on the same day, the party won two seats in the Chamber of Deputies: for Mexico City's 14th district and for Hidalgo's 5th.[4][9]

In the 1955 mid-term election, the PNM's sole victory was in the State of Mexico's 1st district.[10][4]

The PNM again backed the PRI's candidate and ultimate victor, Adolfo López Mateos, in the 1958 general election.[7] Despite running in 51 congressional districts and contending in nine Senate races in that election, the party failed to win any seats in Congress.[4]

In the 1961 mid-term election it secured 0.27% of the popular vote for deputies and no seats.[11][12]
