Development

The original Partido Popular (1948-1960)

Lombardo Toledano, who was also the first chairman of the workers' movement Confederación de Trabajadores de México (CTM ), wanted to reply with the founding of the Partido Popular to moderate and increasingly corrupt politics of the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI ). The Partido Popular was supported by railway associations and labor unions in the mining and oil industry, but could not compete in the elections against the strong PRI. With the conclusion of the Marxist- Leninist orientation of party politics was renamed the Partido Popular Socialista.

With the ideological realignment of the negative attitude of the PRI to the party leadership of the PPS took off. The PPS was often referred to as a "loyal opposition" criticized, which led to a spin-off of the left wing of the party and its emergence in the Partido del Pueblo Mexicano (PPM ). As of 1989, the PPS increasingly lost the vote, which went mainly to the Partido de la Revolución Democrática ( PRD). According to a further splintering of the PPS in 1997, there was in this context re-establishment of the Partido Popular Socialista de México ( PPSM ), which is considered the successor of Lombardo Toledano party.
