flag Spain’s king acknowledged colonial-era abuses in the Americas, easing tensions with Mexico after its 2024 inauguration snub.

flag Spain’s King Felipe VI acknowledged during a visit to a Madrid exhibition on Indigenous Mexican art that the 16th-century conquest of the Americas involved "much abuse" and ethical controversies, recognizing the gap between colonial laws meant to protect Indigenous peoples and their ineffective enforcement. flag Speaking with Mexico’s ambassador, he emphasized understanding history in context without moral judgment, marking a symbolic step in improving strained relations after Mexico excluded him from President Claudia Sheinbaum’s 2024 inauguration over Spain’s refusal to apologize. flag The remarks follow Spain’s foreign minister’s acknowledgment of historical injustice, which Sheinbaum welcomed, signaling a thaw in diplomatic tensions.
