The former minister, who attended Sheinbaum’s inauguration, positioned herself on the side of those who defend a falsified history of the Spanish conquest.
Irene Montero This Wednesday, she positioned herself in favor of Claudia Sheinbaum, the new president of Mexico, and those who, alongside her, insist on the falsified history of the Spanish conquest.
Sheinbaum censured the Spanish “invaders” in his inauguration speech, an event attended by Montero and other Spanish left-wing politicians last Tuesday, after the veto Felipe VI and the resulting resignation of the government.
The leader of the Mexican Executive had insisted for some time on the anachronisms and errors surrounding the process of Conquest, to the point of refusing that the King of Spain attend this event if he did not ask “forgiveness” from the people of his country. .
Today, Montero adds to this story by posting a video on social media in which he states that “Philip VI has reason to apologize to the Mexican people”.
In the said video, the Podemos MEP records himself in front of a mural by Diego Rivera, “Epic of the Mexican People”. “It would be very nice if King Felipe could see this mural, notice the details and realize that Spain has many reasons to apologize to the Mexican people.”
Beyond the fact that she focused on the legitimization of the Spanish black legend, Montero was harshly criticized on social networks for having applauded a work by Rivera, accused of mistreating Frida Kahlo repeatedly during their marriage.
