The statue of King Leopold II in the Belgian city of Ostend is located on the Royal Galleries by the beach. King Leopold II of Belgium was commemorated here as a benefactor of Ostend and the Belgian Congo. The inauguration was on 19 July 1931. The statue was vandalised in 2020 as part of the global Black Lives Matter movement after the murder of George Floyd. A petition to remove such statues was started to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Congo's independence from Belgium on 30 June 2020.

  • Het Ruiterstandbeeld van Koning Leopold II in de Belgische stad Oostende dateert uit 1931 en staat op de Zeedijk ter hoogte van de Drie Gapers (dit is de drievoudige overbrugging van de Koninginnelaan die het domein van de Koninklijke Villa verbindt met het dak van de Koninklijke Gaanderijen). De inhuldiging was op 19 juli 1931. Vanwege de misdaden van Leopolds bewind is het standbeeld omstreden. (nl)

  • The statue of King Leopold II in the Belgian city of Ostend is located on the Royal Galleries by the beach. King Leopold II of Belgium was commemorated here as a benefactor of Ostend and the Belgian Congo. The inauguration was on 19 July 1931. The statue was vandalised in 2020 as part of the global Black Lives Matter movement after the murder of George Floyd. A petition to remove such statues was started to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Congo's independence from Belgium on 30 June 2020. On 9 June 2020, Ostend mayor Bart Tommelein said that the city council "takes the fight against racism very seriously" but "replacing or removing statues will not happen". (en)
