“I have already sent a letter to the King of Spain and another letter to the Pope so that an account of grievances is made and native peoples are forgiven for the violations of what is now known as human rights. There were massacres, impositions, the so-called Conquest was made with the sword and the cross, the churches were built above the temples. Well, our national heroes, the fathers of our country, [Miguel] Hidalgo and [José María] Morelos were excommunicated, ”López Obrador said this afternoon in a video broadcast from Comalcalco, Tabasco.
“We are going to reconcile but first let us ask for forgiveness. I am also going to do it because after the colony there was a lot of repression against the native peoples. It was unfortunate what happened with the extermination of the Yaquis, the Mayans, even the extermination of the Chinese in the midst of the Mexican Revolution, since the Porfiriato. So we have to ask for forgiveness and that 2021 is the year of historical reconciliation, “he added.
