Plan de la Noria

In the history of Mexico, the Plan de la Noria (from Spanish: "Plan of Noria") was a revolutionary call to arms intended to oust President Benito Juárez, who had been elected to a fourth term.

Liberal General Porfirio Díaz issued it on 8 November 1871, immediately following his defeat by Juárez in the presidential election.

Neither Juárez, Díaz, nor the third candidate, Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada, won a majority of votes.

As a result, the Mexican Congress had to choose the victor; it was dominated by Juáristas and elected Juárez to his fourth term.

Díaz drafted the Plan de la Noria demanding electoral freedom and no re-election.
