He resigned as head of the Federal District after the 1971 Corpus Christi massacre; most observers see the resignation as a result of power struggles within the ruling circle rather than just the result of the riots. Martínez Domínguez represented a traditional type of Mexican politician that has almost become extinct. He came from a very poor background and had virtually no education. He received three honorary degrees. He worked his way up through the party hierarchy. He became the president of the PRI in the 1960s. Known and remembered for his tenacity, focus, passion for his country, Martínez Domínguez had the reputation of a ruthless politician. * Mayor of Mexico City in 1971, * Governor of Nuevo León from 1979 *
