| Mexico demands apology from Spain and the Vatican over conquest |
| 2019-03-26 |
Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the indigenous peoples of Mexico had been the victims of massacres. Speaking in the ruins of an ancient Mexican city, he called for a full account of the abuses. Spain rejected the call and called for a "constructive perspective" instead. 'Brother nations' Mr López Obrador was unsparing in his criticism of both Spain and the Vatican, saying: "The time has come to reconcile. But let us ask forgiveness first." |

| #8 Why? Everybody benefited from the destruction of the Aztecs. I would rather be ruled by the fractured, civil-war ridden "state" of Mexico, or even Syria, than people who quite literally spent their years conquering their neighbors and offering ten or hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices at a time. |

| #2 Got to remember that the army Cortez lead in the siege of Tenochtitlan was largely composed of native tribes throwing off the yoke of Aztec oppression. Sort of rips a the heart of the faux victimhood. BTW, quit dumping your indios y mestizos upon us in order to retain the power of the purer Spanish blood overlords that own and operate Mexico. |
