Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton has stated that the European Union could potentially annul the results of upcoming elections in Germany, citing the precedent set in Romania. Breton's comments were made in response to concerns about foreign interference, particularly from Elon Musk, who is set to engage with the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on his social media platform. Breton emphasized the need to enforce European laws to protect democracies from such interferences, suggesting that similar actions taken in Romania could be repeated in Germany if necessary. He also mentioned that Musk must adhere to European regulations when broadcasting content in Europe, with potential fines or bans for non-compliance.
