] ) was a Belgian politician and a former Minister-President of the Brussels-Capital Region.

He is the son of Henri Simonet, former Socialist Party minister and for many years mayor of Anderlecht. His mother Marie-Louise Angenet taught at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

He was born in Watermael-Boitsfort, Belgium. He studied law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. He married Véronica Labe, a notary, in 1988; they had two children. He entered politics as a student activist in the Socialist Party, but later became a member of the Reformist Movement (MR).

Simonet served as mayor of Anderlecht from 2000 until his death and as Minister-President of the Brussels-Capital Region from July 15, 1999, to October 18, 2000. He served as state secretary for European Affairs of Belgium from 12 July 2003 until 12 February 2004 when he became Minister-President of Brussels for the second time on the resignation of Daniel Ducarme following revelations of Ducarme's unpaid taxes in the newspaper "Vers L'Avenir". He led the MR list in the elections of June 2004, losing to the Socialists led by former Minister-President Charles Picqué and gave up the minister-presidency a month later.

Simonet was hospitalised on 9 September 2006 as the result of a pulmonary embolism. [cite web
