Portugal's government rejects paying reparations for its colonial and slavery past, despite comments from President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa suggesting debt cancellation or providing financing as methods for reparations. The government stated that it has "no process or program of specific actions" for paying reparations, despite 6 million Africans being kidnapped and enslaved by Portuguese vessels from the 15th to the 19th century.
