''La Libre Belgique'' (literally, "The Free Belgium"), now sold under the name ''La Libre'', is a Belgian newspaper in French. In Belgium, it is seen as roughly equivalent to the Flemish ''De Standaard''. The paper is widely perceived as pro-catholic. Along with another high circulation French-speaking newspaper ''Le Soir'', it dominates the market in Wallonia and Brussels. ==History and profile== The paper was started as ''Le Patriot'' in 1884 and had a pro-Catholic stance. It was renamed ''La Libre Belgique'' and was published as part of the underground press in February 1915 during the occupation of Belgium by German Empire.〔〔 The publishers were the brothers Louis and who had been active in the world of newspaper publishing before the war. Hence its name which was at the same time an allusion to the collaborationist paper ''La Belgique''. Several weeks before the end of the hostilities, both of the Jourdain brothers died of natural causes. Their work was continued by Victor’s two sons Joseph and Paul Jourdain. The newspaper was also published secretly during World War II in a number of unofficial editions. Until 1999 the paper had a strong Catholic stance and has a centrist leaning.〔 ''La Libre'' is published six times per week (from Monday to Saturday) by the IPM publishing group and has its headquarters in Brussels.〔 The current editor in chief is Vincent Slits. The online edition of the paper was started in 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.voxeurop.eu/en/content/source-profile/3821-la-libre-belgique )〕 The paper has been published in tabloid format since 2002.〔〔 La Libre'' was noted widely as one of the papers involved in a feud with Google relating to which content that could be linked and cached by Google.
