“The difference between a humanist and a racist”: Sheinbaum compared Aznar and AMLO

The controversy surrounding the apology offered by the dad Francisco in Mexico for the events that the Catholic Church led during the period of the conquest seem endless. Now she was head of government in Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, who launched against the former Spanish president, José Maria Aznar.

Via his Twitter account, Sheinbaum Pardo pointed out that There is a big difference between the former Iberian President and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), since he described the first as “racist”, while the second as “humanist”.

He also explained that who else loses in the whole situation is the Spanish state, they are already missing out on a “historic opportunity” by failing to recognize the “atrocities” committed against indigenous peoples. He therefore urged to reflect on the issue and move towards societies without discrimination.

“This is Mr. Aznar the difference between a visionary humanist leader and a racist. It is the Spanish State which misses historic opportunity by failing to recognize atrocities committed against indigenous peoples. If they did, they would advance towards a world without discrimination ”, wrote the president in the afternoon of this Thursday, September 30th.

In addition, the ruler of the capital shared that the Mexican chief executive asked apologies to the Yaqui people due to the marginalization it suffered from the Colony, the Porfiriato and the six-year mandates after the Mexican Revolution, as well as the return of 2,943 hectares on a municipal basis and the signature of Popular justice plan Who is there.

“The The Mexican state must never again allow marginalization, abuse and injustice against the Yaquis and any other ethnic group or the culture of our country, ”President López Obrador declared on September 28.

However, the comparison with the former head of the Iberian government was due to the fact that during the morning it appeared, through the Spanish media, that José María Aznar spoke in favor of “”the historical importance of the Spanish nation”. He said he was not going to join the ranks of those who beg forgiveness for the conquest of America.

“I’m not going to do it”

And it was during his speech on the third day of the PP National Convention, held in Seville, the politician criticized the pope’s gesture.

“For having defended the Spanish nation and the historical importance of the Spanish nation, the historical beliefs of the Spanish nation, with its light and its darkness, with its successes and its errors, I’m ready to be proud, but I won’t ask for forgiveness“.

In addition, he said that in Mexico there is a “New Communism” What “It’s called indigenism”, which means “to return to pre-Columbian societies”. According to him, “indigenism can only go against Spain, not against the United States” and that “the Spaniards must know very well”.

During the rest of his thesis, he also launched out against the Mexican president and ironically about the origin of his surnames: “Now you say Spain must apologize. And you, what’s your name? Tell me what it’s called. My name is Andrés Manuel López Obrador ”.

He pointed out to López Obrador that “if certain things had not happened”, he would not be “there” nor could she be called what she is called, nor “could not have been baptized”, nor “the evangelization of Mexico” would have taken place.

After last monday Pope Francis asks Mexico for forgiveness for the “sins” of the Catholic Church in the territoryRegarding the 200 years of the consummation of independence, several Spanish political actors immediately spoke about it, defend the intervention of Spain in Mexican culture.

Situation which led the Vatican to specify that the document which was sent to the Mexican government indicates the events committed 200 years ago, not to conquer America. Urge them (indirectly) to read the letter well before making a statement.

“We have seen the comments these days and we believe they were made from a title prepared without reading the document, I want to encourage you to read the document which is addressed to Mexico as it celebrates 200 years. of its independence and outside this context the document is not understood, it refers to 200 years of independence “
