Rafael Aguilar Talamantes

Rafael Aguilar Talamantes (October 24 1939) is a Mexican politician.

Originally a member of the Mexican Communist Party, he became a political prisoner in 1965 apprehended in the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo in Michoacán on October 8 of that year. In 1970 he was released on the orders of governor Carlos Gálvez Betancourt. Aguilar left the Communist Party, claiming the party had done nothing to get him out of prison, and founded the Socialist Workers' Party (PST) and served in the Chamber of Deputies from 1979 to 1982. Aguilar's new party was secretly supported by the then dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), hoping to split the leftist opposition vote. He had a small clique of faithful followers, but was barely considered serious in Mexican politics. In 1987 he renamed his the PST Party of the Cardenist Front of National Reconstruction (PFCRN), expelling everyone who disagreed with the name chance.

In 1987 the PFCRN allied itself with the National Democratic Front, which supported the candidacy of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano, a former PRI member who had left the party and was running for the presidency supported by a large number of leftist parties and organizations. Cárdenas lost the election to PRI candidat Carlos Salinas de Gortari, most likely after massive election fraud. After the elections of 1988, Aguilar Talamantes separated from the FDN, and the PFCRN supported many of the policies of the ex-president Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

In the elections of 1994 Aguilar Talamantes was the PFCRN candidate to the Presidency, but obtained only 0.85% of the vote, with which it was in sixth place. His party lost its official regonition, recovered it as the Cardenist Party in 1997, but that same year would lost its registry definitively.

At the moment, Aguilar Talamantes one has seen near the Socialdemocratic Party (formerly known as Social Democratic Alternative Party), he supported the candidacy of Patricia Mercado in the presidential elections of the 2006.
