Brussels, March 17th The pastry chef from the Flemish city of Kortrijk has raised controversy in Belgium for selling a limited edition of pomegranate candies and donating half of the profits to non-governmental organizations that help Ukraine. “It reflects the reality in times of war. It is a powerful signal that will make consumers think,” published on his Facebook page Chocolatier Nicolas Begnes, who has already sold 400 pieces out of 2,000 that he sells for five euros, and who makes both white and dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Half of the funds are spent on the “Ukraine 12.12" platform, created by several NGOs to help Ukrainians who have been fighting for three weeks since the invasion of this country by Russia. The pastry chef says he is angry at those who accuse him of “wanting to enrich himself from the suffering of others”. By doing calculations, donating €2.5 for chocolate to the platform and reducing taxes, raw materials, labor and packaging in the other half, you guarantee that you will not make any profit. “Nothing. We are certainly working on this, but it is extra because we support a good deed,” said Nicolas Begnie, who also sells his chocolates online and will sell grenades until April 11. However, there are those who censor the shocking choice of mold. “They could make a heart,” the chocolate factory customer told the Metro newspaper. HEAD JAF/MB/MJ
