| description | In the summer of 1923, the presidential succession was decided in favor of Plutarco Elías Calles and the definitive rupture of the so-called Sonoran Triangle occurred. Although he formally supported Calles’s candidacy, Finance Secretary Adolfo de la Huerta confronted both Calles and President Álvaro Obregón in order to defend those who had supported his candidacy and resigned. His successor, Alberto J. Pani, presented an alarming report on the state of the Finance Secretariat, provoking a controversy in which De la Huerta aimed to defend his work and Pani to prove that the country was on the verge of bankruptcy. The backdrop to this controversy was De la Huerta’s acceptance of his presidential candidacy and its abrupt end was due to the De la Huerta Rebellion. Nearly one hundred years later, there are still doubts about the seriousness of the fiscal crisis reported by Pani. This article explains the development of the controversy, the arguments given by each party and the intervention of other political actors, concluding that, while the nation’s finances were not in good shape, the situation was exaggerated in order to politically discredit Adolfo de la Huerta. |

This article explains the development of the controversy, the arguments given by each party and the intervention of other political actors, concluding that, while the nation’s finances were not in good shape, the situation was exaggerated in order to politically discredit Adolfo de la Huerta. En el verano de 1923 se definió la sucesión presidencial de Álvaro Obregón a favor de Plutarco Elías Calles y la ruptura definitiva del llamado triángulo sonorense. Aunque formalmente apoyaba la candidatura de Calles, el secretario de Hacienda, Adolfo de la Huerta, se confrontó con ambos por defender a quienes habían apoyado su candidatura presidencial y presentó su renuncia. Su sucesor en el cargo, Alberto J. Pani, presentó un informe alarmante sobre la situación en la que había recibido la Secretaría de Hacienda, dando inicio a una controversia en la que De la Huerta se esforzó por defender su labor al frente de la Secretaría y Pani en demostrar que el país se encontraba al borde de la bancarrota. El telón de fondo de la controversia fue la aceptación por De la Huerta de su candidatura presidencial y el abrupto final de la misma se debió al inicio de la rebelión delahuertista. A casi cien años de distancia persiste la duda acerca de la gravedad de la crisis fiscal denunciada por Pani. El artículo expone el desarrollo de la controversia, los argumentos aportados por las partes, la intervención de otros actores políticos y concluye que la situación de las finanzas públicas, aunque difícil, fue exagerada con el propósito de desacreditar políticamente a Adolfo de la Huerta.
