Conservative Politicians In Spain Defend Their Invasion Of America After Biden's Horrific Proclamation

Right-wing politicians in Spain slammed President Joe Biden’s proclamation of Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday and refused to apologize for the barbaric acts committed when the country colonized the Americas starting in 1492. Spain’s colonial expansion into the Americas was characterized as “the most important event in history after the Roman empire,” by Pablo Casado, leader of the conservative People’s Party, on the eve of the country’s holiday honoring Christopher Columbus.

“Does the kingdom of Spain have to apologize because five centuries ago it discovered the New World, respected those who were there, created universities, created prosperity, built entire cities?” Casado asked in a video posted to Twitter. “I don’t think so.”

Pedo Joe...  Pissing off everyone, one country at a time.

The English, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedes, and Russians quickly followed.  Spain shouldn't take the whole guilt trip.

It wasn't the Spanish that used biological warfare by giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans.

Brainless assertion that the Spanish and the rest were invaders.
They were explorers as were all those preceding them, since Adam & Eve!

[skeeter]

America’s Back! Making friends and influencing people around the globe.

Biden is just stupid... no other explanation...

The conquistadors and the colonial rulers who followed them were far from angelic. OTOH, Mayans and Incas practiced human sacrifice, and the Aztec ripped the hearts out of captives to the tune of 20,000 a year. The Spanish, at their greedy-brutal worst, were a vast improvement, and their worst was far from the majority of the 3 centuries of Spanish colonial rule.
