There has never been a formal, official, apology.
Spain: the time has come. Do the right thing. Apologize. |

This was written by a Trump voter posing as a Democrat with the intention of making readers think "Wow, wokeness has gone too far. I must vote Trump to hold back the tide of wokeness."
People, don't fall for the troll. Please. |

BS. We see thread after thread about utterly absurd non-issues that apparently LWNJs find important. It’s cute that you’re trying to blame that idiocy on “Trump voters.” Own the nutcases in your own party. |

I actually agree with you OP though no idea if you are genuine or just stirring the pot. Although an apology would be mostly symbolic, it could be a way to open up better communications and respect for ingenious people’s through central and South America . The devastation done to indigenous peoples of Central and South America during Spanish colonization is on the scale of the Holocaust. People who belong to the once proud cultures of Aztecs/ Maya and Incas (among others) continue to face great discrimination and hardships even today. “It is estimated that during the initial Spanish conquest of the Americas up to eight million indigenous people died, primarily through the spread of Afro-Eurasian diseases, in a series of events that have been described as the first large-scale act of genocide of the modern era.”. We could learn a lot from indigenous peoples - such as treating nature with more respect. |

It is long past time. Agree 100%.
And yet, if someone finds treasure of the antiquity period of Latin America while scuba diving, Spain will lay claim to it INSTANTLY, and seize it on the spot. But the countries that gold or silver was originally stolen from BY Spain will never have it returned to them. So Spain has plenty to apologize for, right down to the pieces of eight they confiscated this year. |

The lengths apologists will go to in trying to legitimize and make light of Israel’s atrocities … kids would say k-y-s, but I’ll recommend CBT instead. What a weirdo … |

| I suppose it wouldn’t be the only case of people dredging up ancient history to justify their claim to something. |

It's a quote from the new President of Mexico. |

| Mexico should instead of seeking an apology, stop speaking Spanish. |

Unless there are people alive today they are responsible, why should Spain apologize? |
