More than 2000 prayers
The collection is hosted on Givesendo, a site specializing in fundraising campaigns. When writing these lines, the operation has already collected 105,126 euros from 2,386 donors. She also received 2 197 prayers. The contributions go, on the whole, from 5 to 100 euros, but we sometimes find more generous donors who drop several thousand euros, such as this American from Idaho who pays 1000 euros to support this “exemplary leadership, based on morality “. All of their messages make it possible to draw a very wide community of support, with very diverse origins.

THE “Congratulations “,” courage “,” bravo “ come from France, Canada, Austria, Portugal, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, the United States. An anonymous donor paid 500 euros with the Latin message “Vince eternity, to die or die “which can translate into French by: “Conquers eternity, reign or die “. A “prayer“Call for”save Europe “another quotes a verse from the New Testament. Sometimes a message falls into assumed white supremacism, like this anonymous who says “Proud to be born white “ and who worries about “Large replacement with savages “. Or another whose nickname is “Save the white race” (Save the white race, in French). Or another one that accuses the left of wanting to destroy it “Western civilization and Christianity “ with “His depraved mind “.
“Save Europe” and “the white race”
In the midst of all these expressions of sympathy, there is sometimes a word sent from the south of the country. “”French -speaking Belgium is with you. It’s like Tommy Robinson, we are disguised communism. I hope we can save Europe “writes a certain Dekyvere, in French in the text. Another donor (100 euros) appropriates the name of Commissioner Hadja Lahbib to implore “destroy the Belgian state, destroy the EU and destroy journalists “.
On June 20, the Court of Appeal sentenced Dries Van Langenhove to prison. The former far -right deputy, who wants to go before the Court of Cassation, said “It’s a dark day for freedom of expression “. However, to see the tone of the support comments he received, freedom of expression still seems to have a lot of space on the Internet.
