France’s European Commissioner Thierry Breton resigned Monday and accused his boss, Ursula von der Leyen, of undermining him. Breton is the Euro authoritarian who threatened Elon Musk over his interview with Donald Trump.
French President Emmanuel Macron nominated Breton for a second term in Brussels. Still, Breton pulled the plug, accusing Commission President von der Leyen of going behind his back to convince Macron to ditch him.
“A few days ago, in the very final stretch of negotiations on the composition of the future College, you asked France to withdraw my name — for personal reasons that in no instance you have discussed directly with me,” Breton wrote in a letter to von der Leyen, which he posted on X.
Breton said it was an “honor” to have worked the past five years as a Commissioner for the internal market “above national and party interests.”
“However, in light of these developments – further testimony to questionable governance – I have concluded that I can no longer exercise my duties in the College,” he adds. “I am therefore resigning from my position as European Commissioner, effective immediately.”
They are both unpleasant bureaucrats. Von der Leyen should leave, too.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my colleagues in the College, Commission services, MEPs, Member States, and my team.
Together, we have worked tirelessly to advance an ambitious EU agenda.

This is the creepy letter that arrogant authoritarian Breton sent to Musk.

I see that Elon Musk was quick to give this PoS a proper salute…third finger, right hand. Hey Breton, you feckless fag, “he who laughs last, laughs best.”
c’est la vie comrade Breton!!
If only there was a way to structure government that didn’t attract busy-body control freak commie/fascists instead of honest freedom loving normal people who don’t want to force deranged ideologies on others.
It’s because honest freedom loving normal people want anything to do with government. No one actually believes that governments are there to help or represent people. Government is for lining pockets, bribes, kickbacks, drugs, blackmail, extortion, and sexual degeneracy – you know, a Dems wet dream.
That’s true. But good criticizes are going to have to be willing to Wade into the sewer themselves in order to be a roto rooter for sh*t removal.
Au revoir, Vichy POS.
For years now the future has appeared ark, gloomy, hopeless. But every oce in awhile a little ray of sunshine appears to remind us to hope.
Now Goose Step your way off into oblivion you Nazi Bastard!
…unless of course, you wan to admit to being communist.
He would happily do that to keep his authoritarian power, Peter. These bastards think communism is hope and joy. China, with its child slave labor, draconian social credit scores, and forced (lethal) organ harvesting from “death row criminals” that committed the egregious “crime” of having a religion, is a place that our western liberals greatly admire!
