La Libre Belgique (French pronunciation: [la libʁ bɛlʒik]; lit. 'The Free Belgium'), currently sold under the name La Libre, is a French-language Belgian daily newspaper. Together with Le Soir, it is one of the most popular Francophone newspapers in both Brussels and Wallonia. La Libre was founded in 1884 and has historically had a centre-right Christian Democratic political stance. The papers is particularly celebrated for its role as an underground newspaper during World War I and World War II when Belgium was occupied. Since 1999, the newspaper has become increasingly liberal but is still considered more conservative than Le Soir.
