Everything about Manuel Clouthier totally explained
Manuel de Jesús Clouthier del Rincón, also known as
Maquío (
June 13,
1934 –
October 1,
1989) was a
Mexican businessman and politician affiliated to the conservative
National Action Party (PAN). His staunch opposition to the ruling
Institutional Revolutionary Party and his sudden death in a car accident a year after the
1988 presidential elections (where he was the PAN nominee) transformed him into a somewhat iconic figure for the Mexican conservatives.
Clouthier was born into a wealthy family of
Culiacán,
Sinaloa. He graduated from the
Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in
1957 as an agricultural engineer and co-founded a
Catholic Family Movement
(Movimiento Familiar Cristiano) with his wife Leticia Carrillo, with whom he'd 11 sons.
After chairing several business chambers both locally and nationally, he joined the National Action Party and ran an unsuccessful bid for the Sinaloa governorship in
1986. Two years later he ran for president but came third after
Carlos Salinas de Gortari of the long ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and
Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano of the
National Democratic Front (nowadays
PRD).
Clouthier died in a car accident in the
Mexico City –
Nogales, Sonora national highway. Some members of his party claim that Clouthier's death wasn't an accident.
He was honored with a life-size statue in
Los Pinos and several streets and plazas across the country.
