Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum addressed concerns about the country’s relations with Spain during her inauguration on October 1.
This comes after the Spanish government refused to send any representatives to witness the inauguration of Mexico’s first-ever female president. Their reason was that Spanish King Filipe VI was not invited.
Sheinbaum on her part explained in a statement that the decision to exclude Spain’s king was because the country did not respond directly to her predecessor, Lopez Obrador’s previous request for a public apology for the 1968 repression of the student movement during which abuses were.
She accused the Spanish monarchy of failing to acknowledge the harm caused by colonisation.
During a press conference on October 2, the president confirmed that the relations between both countries remain good but maintained the country’s position on the matter.
"It's good (relations with Spain). There's no reason for it to change. But we will always defend (Mexico's) position, and with Spain, we have commercial and tourist relations," Sheinbaum was quoted by AFP.
