The President of Mexico apologized to the indigenous Maya people for the violations committed against them over the five centuries since the Spanish conquest.

“We offer our sincerest apologies to the Maya for the terrible violations committed by individuals and national and foreign authorities in the conquest, during three centuries of colonial domination and two centuries of independent Mexico,” said Mr. Lopez Obrador.

It’s not entirely surprising that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was the boss to deliver this solemn apology to the Mayans: he first made his name as an outspoken activist for indigenous rights in his state of Tabasco.
