There is not enough money in the cash register to pay for Chamber pensions (and the deleted 20% extra makes the gap even bigger)

114,000 euros. The non-profit association Pensioenkas pays this annually to investment bank Degroof Petercam in order to invest the paid pension contributions of the MPs in the best possible way.

That is why the federal budget even contributes annually to pay the pensions of our 600 former MPs – in 2023 it will be 18.8 million euros. But in which companies does the Pensioenkas invest exactly and what is coming up?
