The caretaker Cabinet wants to give the descendants of enslaved people the opportunity to change their name without cost. Adults currently have to pay 835 euros to complete the legal name change process. Enslaved people were often assigned a name connected to either those who kept them enslaved, or the plantation where they were based. The Cabinet said it believes that the policy will help create awareness about the history of slavery, and to demonstrate more compassion for its impact on successive generations of people.
