Efraín González-Luna Morfín (June 5, 1929 – October 21, 2012) was a Mexican lawyer and politician who ran for president in the 1970 Mexican general election as a member of the National Action Party.[1][2][3]
Born on June 5, 1929, into a marriage between Efraín González Luna (one of the PAN's founders) and Amparo Morfín González, Efraín is the fourth of eight children.[4][5]
He enrolled in the Society of Jesus' novitiate in the province of Mexico when he was 16 years old. Just before receiving his priestly ordination in 1959, he made the decision to depart as a Jesuit while studying theology in Innsbruck, Austria. He afterwards attended Paris's Sorbonne to study.[6][4] After returning to Mexico, he joined the National Action Party and graduated from Universidad Iberoamericana with a law degree.[6]
He married Monique Marseille Orendain in 1960 at age 31, and they both eventually raised 4 children.[4] He held positions as director of the law department and professor at Ibero, as well as teaching positions at Iteso and the University of Guadalajara.[7][8]
