Le Pays Réel (French pronunciation:[ləpeiʁeɛl],lit. 'The Real Country') was a Catholic-Fascist newspaper published by theRexist Party inBelgium. Its first issue appeared on 3 May 1936[1] and it continued to be published during theSecond World War. It was briefly edited byVictor Matthys. While thePays Réel remained the main paper of Rex, it remained just one of several published by the group, or subsumed under Rexist control, during the war.
The newspaper's title derives fromthe writings of Charles Maurras, a French nationalist, who distinguished between apays réel, rooted in the realities of life such as locality, work, trades, the parish and the family, and apays légal ("legal country") of law, constitutionalism, and liberal political ideals which he cast as artificially imposed on the "real".
