Claudia Sheinbaum stated at a press conference in the National Palace: "It is an approach from the king." Yesterday, the King of Spain made an unofficial visit to the exhibition "The Woman in Indigenous Mexico", which is on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. It was from there that these statements were made, but he also qualified: "these facts must be known in their proper context, not with excessive moral presentism, but with an objective and rigorous analysis." The Spanish foreign minister acknowledged grievances of the conquest, and Sheinbaum celebrates: "It is a first step." The king's speech comes seven years after the demand from former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for an apology from the Spanish monarchy, which rejected this action, marking a cooling of relations with the Mexican government, amid harsh criticism against energy sector companies. The president recalled that episode: "Unlike a few years ago where there was a cooling of relations, now first the king's gesture of going to the exhibition of indigenous women that Mexico sent to Spain and then his statement." And Sheinbaum added: "We could say that it was not everything we would have wanted, but it is an approach from the king, a recognition of the excesses, exterminations that there were during the arrival of the Spanish." Claudia Sheinbaum recognized the gesture that King Felipe VI had in recognizing that during the historical process known as The Conquest of America there was "a lot of abuse" and said that she hoped that this recognition would continue to be worked on. During her morning press conference this Tuesday, the president reacted to the statements of the Spanish monarch in response to a specific question.
