Il re spagnolo riapre il dibattito sulla conquista del Messico riconoscendo gli “abusi”

Good to see Spain finally acknowledging the horrors of their past.

Spain is considering conquest of Mexico again?

you mean the Mexico where the Aztecs were performing human sacrifices of their enemies by pulling out their hearts with bare hands?

Or the Mexico where the other indigenous populations gladly allied with the Conquistadores, because they hated the Aztecs more?

I like many things about the USA and would export certain models and ways of thinking from there, but definitely not the “white guilt” mentality…

Regarding the guy, if he’s so conscientious he should start by abdicating and stop bleeding the spanish people dry with his fairytale life.

From what I understand there is plenty of abuse going around from that day till today.

Spaniard “conquistadores” did to the indigenous populations of Mexico what these populations were already doing to each other way before the Spanish ever arrived there.

Mexico is angry because their ancestors lost, and now they want an apology for having been defeated.

They want modern-day Spanish people to humiliate themselves in order to appease Mexican peoples’ sense of inferiority.

Has the Mexican government already publicly apologized for the human sacrifices routinely performed before the Spanish arrived?

I suppose it’s easier for said government to distract the populace with a futile external quarrel and made-up foreign enemies, lest the Mexican people start focusing on their politicians’ inability to deal with rampant corruption and drug cartels.

Look over there, don’t look over here…
