Feijóo Dismisses King's Comments on the Spanish Conquest: "Judging 15th-Century Events Today Is Absurd"
Feijóo, tras las declaraciones del Rey sobre la Conquista de América: “Hacer ahora un examen de las cosas que ocurrieron en el siglo XV es un disparate”
Summary
Spanish opposition leader Alberto Feijóo has rejected the King's recent comments on the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, calling it "absurd" to judge 15th-century events by today's standards. The government, by contrast, said it had been informed of the King's remarks in advance and endorsed them "one hundred percent." The far-right Vox party took a nationalist stance, celebrating the work of the Catholic Monarchs in the Americas as "the greatest civilising endeavour in history."
