Mexico-Spain Relations

Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares acknowledged the pain and injustice to indigenous peoples during the Conquest at the inauguration of a joint exhibition with Mexico. President Claudia Sheinbaum presented a video of his statements, viewing it as a first step toward reconciliation. This revives the debate started in 2019 by Andrés Manuel López Obrador's request for an apology, which Spain rejected at the time.
