President Claudia Sheinbaum thanked, who recognized the “injustice and pain” caused to “the Mexican indigenous peoples” during the inauguration of the exhibition Half the world. Women in indigenous Mexico at the Cervantes Institute. “Congratulations on this first step, Spanish Chancellor,” the president expressed from the National Palace this Friday, and recalled that it is the first time that a Spanish authority has spoken of regretting the injustice of the Conquest. “Forgiveness magnifies people, it is not humiliating. On the contrary. Recognizing history, recognizing grievances, asking for forgiveness or lamenting and recovering it as part of history magnifies governments,” he added.
Sheinbaum has stressed that relations with Spain were never completely broken, but Mexico expected recognition of the impact of the Conquest and the “grievances” of the process. “At the time there was talk of the meeting of two cultures, but it was very violent, a very violent invasion process,” he highlighted.
