José María Pino Suárez

José María Pino Suárez (September 8, 1869 – February 22, 1913) was a Mexican politician, Writer, Poet and Lawyer who served as Governor of Yucatán and as Vice President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913.

Early years

Pino Suárez was born in Tenosique, Tabasco. At the young age of 14, he left Tenosique for Yucatán, where he concluded his legal studies and went on to publish two books on poetry: "Melancolías" (1896) and "Procelarias" (1908).

The Revolution

A member of the Antirreeleccionista Party,he was one of the collaborators with Francisco I. Madero in the early days of the Mexican Revolution. As the "Maderista" reforms sky rocketed, he held the position of Secretary of Justice in Madero's rebel cabinet (a bit like Britain's shadow cabinet) before being elected to the Governorship of Yucatán. Following the success of the Maderista Revolution, he was appointed Secretary of Education and then, successfully ran for the vice presidency under the Presidency of Madero (1911), representing the Progressive Constitutional Party (formally Antireelectionist Party).

Execution

While serving as vice president, he was imprisoned in the National Palace, forced to resign his charge and later shot by thirteen bullets along with President Madero outside of the Lecumberri Palace, during the coup d'état led by a treacherous General, Victoriano Huerta. This stage in Mexican History is known generally as "La decena trágica" or "the ten tragic days", in February 1913. His body is burried in the Rotunda de los Hombres Illustres, after having died in the pursuit of Liberty and Democracy for Mexico, he left behind a wife and six young children. He is considered a national hero and several streets and public places in Mexico are named after him, including a main street in central Mexico City and Pino Suárez station on the Mexico City Metro are named in his honor. He was the last vice president of México.
