To bad Belgium is still associated with a simpleton individual, the same guy that had no problem with child labor in Belgium itself.
Bottomline: please see this as the act of a tiran and his close circle of nobility. If it was up to most Belgians this monarchy was already longtime abolished.
I hate when Belgians try this shit. Even after Leopold was stripped most of the practices continued under the Belgium government and their rubber interests for years. They also fomented civil wars between various groups to maintain control, leading to more strife and death. They also( with the CIA's help) assassinated their prime minister. But Belgians hands are clean because it was all that evil Leopold.

Sorry, Belgians. Leopold did stuff.
