Leopold II statues row: 'There's no pride in genocide,' Belgian activists tell Euronews
Statues of Belgium's former King Leopold II and other colonial monuments should be removed "as soon as possible" as the first step in a long-term plan in facing up to the country's past, activists say.The Belgian Network for Black Lives Matter (BNFBL), which took part in last weekend's anti-racism demonstration in Brussels, dismissed suggestions that statues should be kept and better contextualised."Adding a short explanation to the monuments is not enough.
