The LII Legislature of the Congress of the Union, the 52nd session of the Congress of Mexico, met from 1 September 1982 to 31 August 1985 in the newly inaugurated Legislative Palace of San Lázaro. The members of both chambers – 64 senators and 400 deputies – were elected in the general election held on 4 July 1982.
On its first day of sessions, the 52nd Congress heard the sixth and final State of the Nation report of President José López Portillo in which, amidst a massive economic and currency crisis, he announced the nationalization of the country's private banks and imposed stringent exchange controls.
