Rachid Madrane received 243,275 euros gross as compensation in 2022, according to HLN. The President of the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region is therefore the highest paid political figure in Belgium. On BL RTL, Madrane reacted to this information confirmed by the Transparency cell of the Brussels parliament. “Yes, but everything is put, including the tax-exempt part, which is 28%”. he explains. “This 28%, we touch them, but we retrocede to the party, we pay taxes… In the end, what is left is obviously not this amount. We are talking about the gross amount, it is still important, ”he added.

Madrane is thus better paid than Alexander De Croo, who receives 240,000 euros gross per year. “There is probably the issue of wage indexation. […] It is normal for the legislature to be at least 1 euro higher than the chief executive, ”he justifies. And to continue: “That is what we want in all the assemblies. If we tend towards that, I am completely in favor ”. In a democracy, the legislature controls the executive, “It’s not the other way around,” said the politician.
