Michaël Vossaert joins the Mouvement Réformateur in Brussels

30/04/2026
In brief

Michaël Vossaert, former DéFI MP and group leader in the Brussels Parliament, is joining the MR. This elected representative from Molenbeek wants to turn the potential of Brussels' North-West into jobs and training. Bouchez welcomes a reinforcement for the grassroots “popular right”.

The Mouvement Réformateur welcomes Michaël Vossaert into its Brussels ranks. A former DéFI MP and group leader in the Brussels Parliament and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, and municipal councillor in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, he brings his experience and local roots to the liberal project.

“My decision to join the Mouvement Réformateur reflects a desire for political coherence and convergence of projects,” explains Michaël Vossaert. “Today and for the future, the MR is, in my view, the most credible project to ensure Brussels doesn't lose the North.”

For more than eighteen years, Michaël Vossaert has championed a project based on local roots, concrete action and investment in young people. “This project fully aligns with what the MR wants to develop in Brussels, particularly in the North-West, on issues such as youth, training and employment,” he stresses.

Also active in sport and community life, chairman of FC Ganshoren and involved in running the RWDM academy, he is in direct contact with young people, families and the local community. “The canal must not be a border, but a link. Brussels' North-West is bursting with talent, energy and potential. Within the MR, I want to help turn that potential into concrete opportunities for local residents,” he concludes.

Georges-Louis Bouchez said: “Michaël fully shares our ambition for a popular right, results-driven and close to the ground, which places youth, training and employment at the heart of its priorities, particularly in the North-West of the capital, where much of Brussels' challenges and potential are at stake. By joining the MR, he strengthens our determination to build, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, a Region that gives every young person real prospects for success, supports training pathways, and creates the conditions for Brussels residents to find work, start businesses and rise socially where they live.”
