Thierry Breton Resigns as EU Commissioner with Immediate Effect Amid Rift with von der Leyen
Sep 16, 2024, 07:12 AM
French European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton has resigned from the bloc's executive body with immediate effect on Monday. Breton, the EU’s internal market chief, published a picture of his resignation letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on social network X. The resignation follows a request by von der Leyen to French President Emmanuel Macron to withdraw Breton's candidacy for the next European Commission. Breton accused von der Leyen of undermining him and cited a rift with her as the reason for his resignation.
