Macron says France must address issue of reparations for its role in slave trade
French president’s use of term comes as demand grows for formal discussion on addressing legacies of enslavement
Emmanuel Macron has said reparations for France’s role in hundreds of years of enslavement of African people is an issue that should be addressed, but he stopped short of making clear proposals.
“How to repair … is a question that must not be refused,” the French president said in a speech on the legacies of slavery at the Élysée Palace. “It’s also a question on which we must not make false promises.”
