This election two of the youngest members of parliament got elected.

One is for the socdem party, the other one is for our party.

Members of parliament can get up to 11k a month over here, and the local newspaper (they’re both from Antwerp) asked them how they handled that much money at such a young age. (the socdem is 25 years old, our elected official Amina is 22 years old).

The socdem reply is something along the line of: yeah it’s a lot but I didn’t go into politics for the money blah blah blah

Amina gives most of it away to the party to keep an average Belgian wage as to not lose touch with the people

I think that highlights an important difference between socdems and us
