"Spain should ask for forgiveness" - these were the words of Mexico's new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, shortly after being elected. She took it a step further and decided not to invite Spain's King Felipe VI after he failed to respond, and this initiated a grand debate: should Spain apologize for what their ancestors did 500 years ago?
Some claim it is a fair demand by a number of Latin American groups, while others believe it to be excessive - after all, who from today was alive back then? - but everybody has their own opinion.

In this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, we follow a young man named Armando, as he explores this subject and digs deep into what Latin Americans and Spaniards really think about colonization and the consequences it has had until this day. Enjoy the episode!
