Plan de San Luis

The Plan of San Luis was the document that triggered the collapse of the Diaz Regime in Mexico and called for a Revolution in favor of democracy. The plan was writen by Francisco Madero, a political opponent to Dictator Porfirio Diaz that was jailed when his popularity threatened the de-facto arranged triumph of the senile leader.

Not later after it was published in Texas by an exiled Madero, the Mexican Revolution broke in November the 10th of 1910 against the political,commercial and social policies of the regime, but taking the effective suffrage and not reelection as a banner to gain popularity between disgruntled voters.

The document itself has passed as an important historic symbol for the current Mexican State that owes, in great part, its own existence in the collapse of the old regime and the instauration of the PRI dominated Republic.
