Thierry Breton, the French internal market commissioner, resigned from his position within the European Commission, citing disputes over leadership with President Ursula von der Leyen. Breton alleged that von der Leyen undermined him by requesting France to withdraw his candidacy in favor of another French official, which he described as a sign of 'questionable governance.' His resignation comes just before von der Leyen is expected to announce the new commission team following the European Parliament elections. In response, French President Emmanuel Macron has nominated Stéphane Séjourné as Breton's successor. This leadership shuffle highlights ongoing tensions within the EU's executive branch as it seeks to balance gender representation and effective governance. Von der Leyen's team formation has already faced delays, requiring approval from the European Parliament before it can take effect.
