Career
Piña Olaya was born Champusco, Puebla, in 1933. He studied law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). As a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), he served in the Chamber of Deputies to represent Puebla's 10th district during the 52nd session of Congress (1982 to 1985),[2] in which he occupied the position of President of the Great Commission. Piña Olaya became governor of the State of Puebla in 1987 and served until 1993,[1] but was viewed as weak and unpopular.[3] Later, he became general director of the Mexican Light and Power Company, and then sub-coordinator of Public Security during the six-year term of the President Carlos Salinas.[citation needed]
