We revealed it to you yesterday, the highest paid political figure in Belgium is none other than Rachid Madrane (PS), the Minister-President of the Brussels Parliament. He was the guest at 7:50 this Wednesday on Bel RTL Matin. He answered Antonio Solimando’s questions, in particular on the annoying question of his salary: “Today, what is declared is a little over 200,000 euros gross per year”he revealed.
According to our colleagues from The last newsRachid Madrane would actually earn 243,000 euros gross per year. “Yes, but everything is included, including the tax-exempt part, which is 28%”he hastened to justify. “So you still touch them?”then launches Antonio Solimando. “No… Yes, we touch them but we give back to the party, we pay taxes… In the end, what is left is obviously not this amount. We are talking regarding a gross amount, it is is still important”adds the President of the Brussels Parliament.
He therefore earns more than our Prime Minister who himself earns 240,000 euros gross per year. “There is probably the question of salary indexation”, he said once more. And to continue: “I’m going to take off my cap as president. At the PS, what do we want? Maximum harmonization. It is normal for the legislature to be at least 1 euro higher than the chief executive. That’s is what we want in all the assemblies. If we tend towards that, I am completely in favor…”
He justifies this by the fact that, in a democracy, the legislature controls the executive, “it’s not the other way around.”
