About Luis Napoleón Morones
Luis Morones Negrete, also known as Luis Napoleón Morones, was a participant in the Mexican revolution, a Mexican major union leader, and government official. He was a controversial politician who experienced a rapid rise to prominence from modest roots and made strategic alliances. He served as Secretary General of the Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers and as secretary of economy under President Plutarco Elías Calles, 1924-1928. He is considered the "most important union leader of the 1920s"...and undoubtedly an influential figure in Mexico's post-Revolutionary reconstruction." He was criticized for accepting a position in the national government while heading a labor union, an obvious conflict of interest. He was known for his unseemly displays of great wealth. He fell from power following the successful 1928 presidential run by Alvaro Obregon, who was assassinated before being inaugurated.
