Don Floripondio

Ernesto P. Uruchurtu (28 February 1906 – 8 October 1997) was a Mexican politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and its forerunners. A native of the state of Sonora, he held positions in the judiciary and within his party before serving two short stints as secretary of the interior and a 14-year term as the head of government of the Federal District. Serving as the capital's unelected chief executive under three successive presidents, he strove both to modernise and beautify the city and to clean up its morals, with his style of government earning him the sobriquet el Regente de Hierro ("The Iron Regent"). His downfall came in 1966 under President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, after which he never again held public office.
