Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (September 29, 1547 – April 23, 1616), was a Spanish novelist, poet and playwright.
Miguel de Cervantes was born at Alcalá de Henares, Spain.
He died in Madrid on either April 22 or April 23, 1616; because the latter is the date on his tombstone, it may be the date of his burial rather than the date of his death.

 BookRags: Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado Biography
Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado (born 1934) was elected president of Mexico in 1982 and served until 1988 at a time when the country was facing its most severe economic crisis in history.
Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado was born in the western Mexican state of Colima on December 12, 1934.
Miguel de la Madrid's rise to his country's highest political office was meteoric to be sure, but in spite of his relative youth he was perhaps better prepared for the tasks that lay ahead than any of his 20th-century predecessors.

 Carlos Salinas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During an interview for Televisa in September 2005, Miguel de la Madrid acknowledged that the PRI lost the 1988 elections.
Asked for comment on de la Madrid's statements, Senator Manuel Bartlett Díaz, who was the president of the Comisión Federal Electoral ("Federal Electoral Commission") during the de la Madrid administration, declared Salinas won the election albeit with the smallest margin of any PRI candidate before him.
He attributed de la Madrid's remarks to his old age (71 years old as of 2005) and the remarks being taken out of context by journalist Carlos Loret de Mola.

De la Madrid somewhat wistfully noted a few days ago that as recently as September, Mexico's prospects appeared unusually buoyant.
De la Madrid, who entered office five years ago vowing to clean up his predecessor's economic mess, now could find himself bequeathing the largest deficit, deepest recession and highest inflation in Mexico's history -- unless his new plan succeeds.
De la Madrid's stated intent is to brake inflation, now running at a record 144 percent, and spur economic growth, which remains stubbornly flat after five years of Mexico's worst recession.

Former President Miguel de la Madrid says he shares the blame for his party's stunning loss of the presidency in 2000, which ended its 71-year rule of Mexico, a leading Mexico City newspaper reported Monday.
De la Madrid, who was president from 1982 to 1988, was quoted in Reforma as saying "the fundamental cause" of the Institutional Revolutionary Party's decline was "the severe economic policy measures I was obliged to take."
The year De la Madrid took office, inflation had surpassed 100 percent and Mexico had a foreign debt of $87 billion, much of it short-term.

 What next in Mexico? National Review - Find Articles
True, during his visit President de la Madrid defended his government's financial and political support of Communist governments and guerrillas, specifically those in Central America, a policy that many highly articulate Mexicans denounce as unwise, immoral, and dangerous.
Miguel de la Madrid promised "moral renewal" in government, just as his predecessor did, but the conviction is widespread that the ancient, airtight grip on all levels of government by the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) must be relaxed if the party and the system of government it embodies are to be saved.
De la Madrid has only slightly diminished early doubts about his willingness to go after suspect members of Lopez Portillo's inner circle.

 The response to the environmental problem
That year Miguel de la Madrid, as one of his first actions as President of Mexico, created a ministry called SEDUE, short for Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano y Ecología, which curiously but symptomatically integrated urban development and ecology.
During his campaign, de la Madrid had trumpeted an urgent need for a "national ecological awareness" to avoid the "historical immorality" represented by the destruction of nature as a consequence of modern development.
The Asamblea de Barrios, a popular working-class movement that arose after the 1985 earthquake, surprisingly expressed its support for these demands, and publicly attacked the official policy on public transport and the federal subsidy of the automobile industry.

But in the aftermath of the controversial July 6 presidential and subsequent state elections, del Villar, who coordinated an anti-corruption program under former President Miguel de la Madrid, decided to resign from the party he had been a member of for 25 years.
In July, presidential election PRI candidate Carlos Salinas de Gortari was elected with an historically low vote amid widespread irregularities that left the true outcome a mystery.
Most PRI candidates are selected by the PRI leadership, a process known as the "dedazo." Salinas was directly chosen by de la Madrid and the absence of broad participation in the selection of the PRI presidential candidate was the catalyst for Cardenas’ and the Democratic Current’s break with the party.

In his seven months as President, however, De la Madrid has been criticized for moving slowly against suspect members of the administration of his predecessor, José Lopez Portillo, whose government was widely regarded as corrupt.
Many Mexicans saw the move as an indication that De la Madrid would press similar charges against other members of the former administration.
