Miguel Ángel Revilla: “Nobody asked me to be an intermediary between Mexico and Spain, I don't know where they got it”

The president of Cantabria, an autonomous community of Spain, Miguel Ángel Revilla, denied on Monday that the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, asked him to mediate in the (deteriorating) relationship between Mexico and Spain. “The only one who has hinted at it is the president of Mexico,” he said in a telephone interview with Infobae. “The only thing that the Spanish president has told me is that it would be interesting if we all tried to restore good relations together, but he didn't ask me anything,” he reiterated.

This is after some Mexican media resumed the statements that Revilla made last weekend in the Spanish media LaSexta. There, the 79-year-old Spanish politician told him that politicians such as Pedro Sánchez or Alberto Sánchez Feijóo, president of the Popular Party (PP), had sent him a message telling him that taking advantage of his closeness with the Mexican president, they could all work together to restore good relations. But the Mexican press assumed that Revilla had been officially entrusted with that mission.

“I don't know who invented it,” Miguel Ángel told Infobae, insisting that he has been called to informally raise the idea, “but nobody has asked me anything.”
