The director of the Spanish Office, Toni Cantó, defended this Wednesday that the conquest of America meant the liberation of thousands of people who were under a "wild and cannibalistic" power, being

capable of "killing 70,000 people in a single ceremony"

.

This is how Cantó has stated it during his appearance in the Culture Commission in the Madrid Assembly where he has come to give an account of the objectives and projects of the office he directs.

In it, the conquest of America has come up, where he believes that the

Spanish were "neither colonizers nor conquerors", but liberators.

"I want to proudly claim the historical legacy. I do not believe that we are colonizers or conquerors, or anything like that. I believe that when Spain arrived on that continent it liberated the continent. They did not conquer it, they liberated it, because otherwise it is not possible to understand how some Hundreds managed to free so many thousands of people from that continent who were absolutely judged by a power that was absolutely brutal, savage and even cannibalistic. They were capable of killing 70,000 people in a single ceremony, "Cantó launched.

For this reason, he has insisted that Spain freed them from that and from there it was possible to create "a common history, with a common language and a historical legacy" of which he says it is necessary to feel "proud".

"I am proud of my homeland, of what the Catholic Church accomplished, of that legacy and of all history. I understand that the communists are ashamed of their country but let me be at the opposite of what you have thought today" , has launched the opposition.

Speaking to journalists after the commission ended, Cantó explained that his Office will engage in this "cultural battle, as some call it," because they feel "proud" of that liberation with which the residents of that place will help them. to carry it out.

For this reason, he recalled that they were the first to celebrate mixed marriages, open universities and say that indigenous people had the same rights.

"If it is compared with the USA we can feel proud", has concluded.
