Evere: documentary transparency, no participation

A new mayor through anti-cumul rules

Evere has 46,000 inhabitants and is led by Alessandro Zappala (PS), designated as mayor after Ridouane Chahid renounced the mayoralty to keep his federal deputy mandate (anti-cumul rules). The PS-MR coalition has a large majority (28/35 seats).

Transparency: 3 out of 6 criteria

The budget and council minutes (dedicated page organised by year, 2015-2025) are published online, and the mandate registry is accessible via the transparency section. However, no confirmed livestream, no citizen participation platform, and no Open Data portal.

Room for improvement

Evere has significant room for improvement in digital transparency. The absence of livestream and participatory budget places it below the average of Brussels municipalities.
