Gustavo Díaz Ordaz Bolaños Cacho (born March 12, 1911 in Ciudad Serdán , Puebla , † July 15, 1979 in Mexico City ) was a Mexican politician and President of Mexico (1964-1970).
Ordaz graduated from the University of Puebla . He then worked initially as a civil servant for the government of the state of Puebla , was a member of the National Congress from 1943 to 1946 and then from 1946 to 1952 a senator . Under President Adolfo López Mateos , he became Minister of the Interior and leader of the conservative wing of the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in 1958 .
In 1964 he won the presidential election. The Tlatelolco massacre and the 19th Summer Olympics in Mexico City took place during his tenure .
From July 21st to August 2nd, 1977 he was the first Mexican ambassador to Madrid for almost two weeks after the embassy there had been closed on January 1st, 1940. The reason for his short term in office in Madrid is believed to be that his role in the Tlatelolco massacre was also known there. On October 3, 1968, the day after the massacre, Díaz Ordaz asked the television journalist Jacobo Zabludovsky by phone why he had been wearing a black tie when he was broadcast the day before . Jacobo Zabludovsky replied that he had been wearing black ties for years and that he had no other ties.
