Abolish the Belgian National Medals named after Leopold II

The Issue

King Leopold II is known for his atrocities in his personal territories in the Congo resulting in the loss of 10 million lives there, I believe that the medals granted by the Belgian government named after him are not worthy of his name. I ask the Belgian government to rename these medals into something more acceptable.
