The Mystery of Leopold III

Here are some important articles from La Libre Belgique on the fourth King of the Belgians, surrounded, to this day, by a fog of misunderstanding and mystery:

~"L'extraordinaire piété filiale du prince Léopold"
~"Albert 1er à Léopold: 'ton père et ami'"
~"Léopold III, l'inépuisable sujet"
~"En lisant Léopold III..."
~"Vers une monarchie autoritaire?"
~"'Retraité', Léopold III a trouvé le bonheur"
~"Charles le sauveur du brol était mal vu des siens"
~"L'argent de la rancoeur"
~"Baudouin et Albert, enfants déportés"

The love of one's neighbors, the sense of duty, truth, and justice, if applied to daily life, would spare mankind countless sufferings, troubles, and anxieties ...

The solution of the problems which oppress the world can only be found in the practice of Charity between individuals and between nations.

-Leopold III, King of the Belgians, 1936
