ENGLISH

Mexico’s president AMLO commemorated 500 years of indigenous resistance since Tenochtitlan’s fall (today Mexico City) as he apologized to Mexico’s indigenous peoples for the cultural disruptions brought by the Spanish colonization. The ceremony took place at Mexico City’s zócalo where his wife hosted two native North Americans (one from Canada and the other from the USA). Also, a replica of the fire and water pyramids was constructed at the center of this very famous square.

ESPAÑOL

El presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador ofreció disculpas a las víctimas, al encabezar la conmemoración de los 500 años de resistencia indígena y de la caída de la Gran Tenochtitlan (hoy Ciudad de México) por la ocupación militar española,  y llamó a acabar con la ambición, la esclavitud, la opresión, el racismo, el clasismo y la discriminación.

En la Plaza de la Constitución de la Ciudad de México, acompañado su esposa y de representantes indígenas de Canadá y Estados Unidos, el mandatario indicó que la lección que dejó la llamada Conquista es que “nada justifica imponer por la fuerza a otras naciones o culturas, un modelo político, económico, social o religioso en aras del bien de los conquistados o con la excusa de la civilización”.

ENGLISH

Only 3 out of the 10 most populated countries in the World ranked Top 10 with the amount of medals won at the Tokyo Olympics. What can the other 7 countries do in order to be in this list of Olympic Top 10? By the way, although Australia & the Netherlands have a small population, it’s nice to see them in the Top 10 list!

Ranking in medals / Posición en medallero

1. China 2nd place / 2o lugar

2. India 47th place / 47avo lugar

3. USA (EEUU) 1st place / 1er lugar

4. Indonesia 40th place / 40avo lugar

5. Pakistan sin medallas / no medals

6. Brazil 14th place / 14avo lugar

7. Nigeria 66th place / 66avo lugar

8. Bangladesh sin medallas / no medals

9. Russia 3rd place / 3er lugar

10. Mexico 46th place / 46avo lugar

ESPAÑOL

De los 10 países más poblados del mundo solamente 3 lograron estar entre los 10 que más medallas ganaron en la Olimpiadas de Tokio. ¿Qué pueden hacer los otros 7 países para poder estar entre los 10 países que más medallas ganan? Por cierto, aunque tiene poca población, ¡da gusto ver a Australia y Holanda en los Top 10!
