Mexico's snub to King Felipe rekindles colonialism row with Spain
Briefly

Mexico's president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, expressed the need for Spain to apologize for historical abuses against Indigenous peoples, emphasizing human rights violations from the conquest era.
Claudia Sheinbaum, the incoming president, criticized Spain's lack of response to Lopez Obrador's letter, highlighting the importance of direct diplomatic communication and respect for historical grievances.
The Spanish government's refusal to acknowledge the letter's content and their stance on historical perspective has fueled tensions, as they maintained that past actions should not be judged by today's standards.
Spain's decision to not participate in the inauguration of the Mexican president-elect following the king's exclusion underscores the broader implications of this diplomatic rift.
