Thierry Breton's abrupt resignation from his commissioner role underscores the tense dynamics within the European Commission, highlighting political rivalries amidst a push for economic reform.
In a dramatic open letter, Breton accused Ursula von der Leyen of conspiring against his re-appointment, signaling personal and political rifts that complicate leadership within the EU.
Breton's tenure was marked by his untraditional approach, characterized by direct communication and a focus on revitalizing EU manufacturing and regulating Big Tech, which won him considerable praise.
Despite being a frontrunner for a key vice-president position, Breton's resignation demonstrates how personal conflicts can overshadow professional achievements in the high-stakes world of EU politics.
