Francisco I. Madero during the first stage of Mexican Revolution authored, "Manifiesto a la Nación," on 5 October 1910 in San Luis Potosí, México.
Author: Francisco I. Madero
The opening lines of this manifesto are as follows, "Los pueblos, en su esfuerzo constante porque triunfen los ideales de libertad y justicia, se ven precisados en determinados momentos históricos á realizar los mayores
sacrificios.
Nuestra querida Patria ha llegado á uno de esos momentos: una tiranía que los mexicanos no estábamos acostumbrados á sufrir, desde que conquistamos nuestra independencia, nos oprime de tal manera, que ha llegado á hacerse intolerable. En cambio de esta tiranía se nos ofrece la paz, pero es una paz vergonzosa para el Pueblo Mexicano, porque no tiene por base el derecho, sino la fuerza; porque no tiene por objeto el engrandecimiento y prosperidad de la Patria, sino enriquecer un pequeño grupo que, abusando de su influencia, ha convertido los puestos públicos en fuente de beneficios exclusivamente personales, explotando sin escrúpulos las concesiones y contratos lucrativos."
