“This is the case of Spanish companies, if now the relationship is not good and I would like it to take us until it normalizes, to take a break, which I think will suit us Mexicans and Spaniards, from then to the town of Mexico and to the town of Spain”he pointed.

He affirmed that there was a “collusion at the top, an economic and political promiscuity, at the top of the Governments of Mexico and Spain,” for about “three six-year terms in a row,” he said.

He stated that in this case, Mexico was the one that had the “worst part” because “they looted us”.

“So, it is better to give us some time, a pause”, he reiterated. As on other occasions, the president made these statements recalling alleged acts of corruption by Spanish companies during previous governments.

In particular, he named companies from the energy and construction sectors that made contracts with the administrations of Vicente Fox (2000-2006), Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) and Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018).

repeatedly Lopez Obrador has criticized Spain’s refusal to apologize to the indigenous peoples of Mexico for the abuses committed during the conquest as he requested for 2021, when 500 years of the event were commemorated, renamed “indigenous resistance”.

But the president has also accused Spanish companies of still seeing Mexico as a “land of conquest and looting,” particularly after the 2013 energy reform that opened up the sector to private parties.
