Sheinbaum\u2019s predecessor, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, demanded an apology from Spain for human rights violations committed during that era. <\/p>\n
In 2024, the current president did not invite King Felipe to her inauguration, saying neither he nor the Spanish government had responded to the request. However, comments last October by the Spanish foreign minister, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares, acknowledging there had been \u201cpain and injustice\u201d in the two countries\u2019 shared history, appeared to improve relations.<\/p>\n
The king went further in March, when he told the Mexican ambassador in Spain that there had been \u201ca lot of abuse\u201d during the conquest, which \u201ccannot make us feel proud.\u201d Those comments drew a positive response from the Mexican government, although they angered some on Spain\u2019s right, which tends to be more defensive about the country\u2019s colonial history.<\/p>\n
Backing the moderate<\/p>\n
The People\u2019s Party\u2019s national leadership, which has frequently been wrong-footed by Ayuso\u2019s outbursts, has steered clear of her Mexican dispute.<\/p>\n
Instead, on the campaign trail in Andalusia, party leader Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o praised Moreno\u2019s measured image, telling supporters in M\u00e1laga that \u201cit\u2019s more important than ever\u2026to have moderate and centrist politics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Polls show the Socialists are in a distant second place ahead of Sunday\u2019s vote. The death of two civil guards in a high-speed pursuit of drug traffickers in waters off Huelva appeared to hurt the party. <\/p>\n
The Socialist candidate, Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas Montero, described the incident as a \u201cworkplace accident\u201d in language that played badly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheinbaum\u2019s predecessor, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, demanded an apology from Spain for human rights violations committed during that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[190,3473,2641,4058,21,945,826,247,4911,205,4912,17,209],"class_list":{"0":"post-24240","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-alberto-nunez-feijoo","9":"tag-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador","10":"tag-elections","11":"tag-far-right","12":"tag-history","13":"tag-human-rights","14":"tag-immigration","15":"tag-mexico","16":"tag-parliament","17":"tag-pedro-sanchez","18":"tag-rights","19":"tag-spain","20":"tag-spanish-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
