Thierry Breton Resigns as EU Commissioner with Immediate Effect Amid Governance Dispute
Sep 16, 2024, 07:36 AM
French European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton has resigned from the bloc's executive body with immediate effect. Breton's resignation follows a request from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for France to provide a different nominee for the next European Commission. Breton published a picture of his resignation letter on social network X. He accused von der Leyen of undermining him and cited governance concerns as reasons for his departure. French President Emmanuel Macron was requested to withdraw Breton's candidacy. Breton, who oversaw key industrial and tech policies, had recently gained notoriety for his stance on content regulation, including threats towards Elon Musk's platform X.
