Valente de la Cruz

Valente de la Cruz was a leader and farmer. He was born on 22 May 1894, in San Luis de la Loma, Tecpan de Galeana, Mexico. Despite the few educational opportunities he had, he became a professor at the former Royal School in Tecpan, and would become the director.

After listening to a 1920 speech by labor leader John R. Escudero, he began to be politically active. By 1922 he had become a political leader, forming Partido Obrero Campesino, on the platform that large landowners should yield some of their land to farmers in the Costa Grande, a project that would encourage the formation of ejidos.

De la Cruz once met with President Álvaro Obregón to explain the precarious situation in the state, where those who had been property-owners now had nowhere to grow. In September 1923, during his third trip to Mexico City in search of presidential support, he was arrested and executed.
