Sheinbaum Rebukes President of Community of Madrid for Her Vindication of Hernán Cortés
Sheinbaum said defending the conquest ignores atrocities against Indigenous communities as protests forced a cathedral event cancellation.
- On Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Madrid leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso for defending the Spanish conquest and Hernán Cortés during a Monday event in Mexico City.
- During her 10-day tour, Ayuso claimed 'chains of socialism' threaten democracy in Mexico and Spain, having previously likened Sheinbaum's government to the Cuban dictatorship.
- Protests erupted during the Monday event at Frontón México, where Ayuso honored Cortés and Queen Isabella, prompting Morena party members to label her 'fascist.'
- Speaking at a Puebla event commemorating the Battle of May 5, Sheinbaum warned that those vindicating Cortés are 'destined for defeat,' without naming Ayuso directly.
- This dispute disrupts seven years of cultural diplomacy between the two governments, while Ayuso faces domestic criticism in Spain for allegedly neglecting regional duties and using public funds.
