He served as Schepen of the city from 1976 to 1982 and was Mayor from 1965 to 1971. He was also a Provincial Council member for Brabant from 1977 to 1984.

A member of the Party for Freedom and Progress, De Grève served in the Senate from 1974 to 1977 for the Arrondissement of Brussels and represented the same district in the Chamber of Representatives from 1977 to 1984.

He then sat on the Flemish Council from 21 October 1980 to September 1984, chairing his party's faction for the majority of his term.
