La campaña contra el encarecimiento de la vida se combinó pronto con una campaña de moralidad pública que fomentó un discurso nacionalista excluyente. Este artículo se interesa en la relación entre la situación económica y política adversa y la promoción de un discurso patriótico basado en la búsqueda de chivos expiatorios. A través de la prensa capitalina y de regiones preocupadas por la emigración, se observan en lo particular los casos de los panaderos españoles, vistos como responsables del encarecimiento del pan, y de los trabajadores migrantes, antipatrióticos por haber abandonado al campo mexicano.

The first months of Adolfo Ruiz Cortines presidency (1952-1958) were critical for coining a new image of the ruling party, pri, and effacing the image of a corrupt and wasteful government. A government-sponsored campaign against the rise of the cost of living was reinforced by a public morality crusade that resulted in a nationalist and excluding discourse. This article explores the relation between a muddled economic and political situation and the dissemination of a patriotic discourse targeting scapegoats. An examination of national and regional newspapers allows us to identify the cases of Spanish-origin bakers, who were considered as responsible for the rise of bread price, and migratory workers, whowere signaled as unpatriotic for leaving the Mexican fields. |
