The recent reopening ceremony of Notre Dame which gathered 40 world leaders was a strong symbolism of democracy and western culture.
Spain's absence in the event is greatly questioned as it appears as a geopolitical oversight and a distancing from a symbolic state of European unity.
The responsibility of the absence falls on the Government of Spain and the Ministry of Culture, which failed to fulfill its role of representation.
The justifications given - a minister who could not attend due to personal reasons - are being criticized and there's a demand to clarify the situation.
Conclusion: The omission in attending this event signals potential issues in the direction of Spain's foreign relations or an inexcusable oversight, threatening its image in the global sphere.
