Progressive Constitutionalist Party (Mexico)
The Progressive Constitutionalist Party (Spanish: Partido Constitucional Progresista), known by its acronym PCP, was a liberal political party that existed between 1909 and 1913. Positioned in the political centre of Mexican politics, it drew ideologically from social liberalism, as well as economic liberalism. The party was formed as the conservative wing of the former Liberal Party but not as conservative as the Liberal Party itself under Porfirio Díaz, which in the early 20th century had splintered into more radical factions, represented by the Mexican Liberal Party (PLM).
