Spain is reportedly recalling its ambassador to India, Juan Antonio March Pujol, amid allegations of financial misconduct linked to cultural events organised in Rajasthan. The move comes after Spain’s Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office received a report from a Foreign Ministry official in May. According to reports, March allegedly sought financial contributions from companies, including an Indian visa-processing firm, for cultural events planned to mark 70 years of India-Spain diplomatic ties. The events were reportedly organised without approval from Madrid, and Spain’s AECID later vetoed them. In this video, Firstpost looks at the allegations against March, the reported financial arrangements surrounding the cultural events, and Spain’s move to replace its ambassador to India. --- Spain | Indian Envoy | Juan Antonio March Pujol | India News | Pedro Sanchez | Firstpost #spain #indinaenvoy #juanantoniomarchpujol #indiaspainties #pedrosanchez #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian n
