Portugal has no intention of paying reparations for slavery, government says

🇵🇹

This is despite the country’s President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, recently declaring that Lisbon is responsible for past mistakes and should pay for crimes committed during colonial rule.

Portugal sold nearly six million Africans into slavery, more than any other European country.

During the colonial period, countries such as Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, East Timor and parts of India were under Portuguese rule.
