"We're not going to ask for forgiveness and we're going to celebrate the return to the world of Elkano."

  • The pp leader has been interviewed by the Spanish journalist Federico Jiménez Losantos on the radio program he presents daily Radio Euskadi. The popular leader has assured that he will not apologize for the conquest of Mexico and added that they will celebrate the 5th Centenary of the expeditions of Hernán Cortés and Juan Sebastián Elcano.

Thus, Jiménez Losantos has begun the plenary saying that pp is among the voters of Citizens and Vox, among those who are. To that he added that they have lent their hand to VOX in the small provinces to agree a common strategy with pp. After that, they have resumed the controversy that has arisen over the past few days: The letter of the Mexican President asking the King of Spain for forgiveness for his actions during the conquest of Mexico. He called Andre's Manuel López Obrador "repugnant" and said: "We're not going to apologize, it's more, we're going to celebrate the 5th Centenary of Hernán Cortés's arrival in Mexico," he added. After taking advantage of the conqueror Hernán Cortés and the conquest of Mexico, Juan Sebastián Elcano and the return to the world are in the same line: "Last week I was in Getaria claiming the return to the world of Elkano. In fact, now only Elkano is claimed by nationalists, putting ‘k’ on Elcano. Pedro Sánchez is acting as if this ephemeris does not exist.”

The pp leader has pointed out in previous days that they are "firmly committed to the Foundation's 5th Centenary". "The role of Spain across the Atlantic was fundamental and like all the great nations that have helped to find other peoples, and after five centuries that has to fill us with pride."
