Sheinbaum Welcomes King Felipe's Gesture on the Conquest: "Not All We Wanted, But a Step Forward"
Sheinbaum valora el gesto del Rey sobre la Conquista: “No es todo lo que hubiéramos querido, pero es un acercamiento”
Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has welcomed a gesture by Spanish King Felipe VI regarding the 16th-century conquest of Mexico, describing it as a step forward even if it falls short of the full apology Mexico has long sought. The rapprochement marks the closest the two countries have come to resolving a diplomatic rift that has lasted over seven years. Tensions between Spain and Mexico had been fuelled by disagreements over the historical interpretation of the colonial period and demands for a formal Spanish acknowledgement of past wrongs.
