Miguel Alemán Valdés (born September 29, 1903 (other information: 1900, 1902, 1905) in Sayula , Veracruz , † May 14, 1983 in Mexico City ) was a Mexican politician of the Party of the Institutional Revolution (PRI). He was President of Mexico from 1946 to 1952.

Presidency

Alemán promoted industrial development, the expansion of railways and roads and the establishment of a number of important schools. To achieve this, he negotiated a large loan with the United States . He also improved irrigation and agriculture, increasing the production of rice , sugar , bananas , oats and pineapples . He faced a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak and had thousands of animals culled to contain it. During his tenure, women were given the right to vote in local council elections and Baja California was given state status. He signed peace treaties with Germany , Japan and Italy and negotiated with the USA on the question of day laborers. Growing corruption and nepotism shaped his term of office and still have an impact on the relationship between business and politics. He was also one of the major shareholders of the Mexican broadcaster Televisa. Alemán was married to the Austrian Karin Koidl, with whom he had a daughter, Alejandra Alemán.
