Mexican Liberal Party

For the short-lived successor party, see Mexican Liberal Party (2002–2003).

The Junta Organizadora (1910)

The Mexican Liberal Party (Spanish: Partido Liberal Mexicano) was an anarchist group co-founded by Ricardo Flores Magón in 1906, in opposition to the rule of Porfirio Díaz. The MLP was involved in strikes and uprisings in Mexico from 1906 to 1911. The party controlled most parts of Baja California in 1911, including Tijuana, Mexicali, and Tecate. In August 1911 it transformed itself into the "Liberal Party" (Spanish: Partido Liberal).

The MLP was supported from exile in Texas by the feminist writer Andrea Villarreal.
