Breton Is Not a Democrat

Politics - January 24, 2025

Thierry Breton is not a democrat.
I have no intention of making a biography of him. In fact, he does not deserve our attention, but he does deserve our concern. Thierry Breton is one of those obscure types who comes to power and becomes famous for his statements.
He was part of the Von der Leyen I Commission as Interior Commissioner. And from day one he was characterised by an obvious submission to principles. Globalists emanating from the Davos forum and the Soros network. Particularly stormy statements in the wake of the adoption of the directive imposing a ban on the marketing of combustion engines in Europe by 2035.
Mr. Breton simply said that he had informed the automobile industry that they would not suffer any harm, as they could sell the vehicles in Africa or South America. A manifestation of new post-modern colonialism. Because if cars with combustion engines are bad for health and the planet, why sell them in Africa or South America? Don’t Africans or South Americans have the right to a healthy environment? And if the problem of the combustion engine is really neither the planet nor health, why destroy a productive sector in which Europe was a true world leader, both in terms of quality and price of vehicles?
Already at the end of his term of office, having earned himself a place on the Von der Leyen II Commission, and following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social network X (formerly Twitter) and the elimination of controls on subsidised news verifiers under the Digital Services Directive, he threatened the American tycoon with the imposition of sanctions.

More recently, he has been all over the media again after a television interview. In that interview, he implicitly acknowledged that the European Commission had interfered in the Romanian electoral process, causing the Romanian Constitutional Court to change its mind about the presidential elections, which led to the annulment of the result of the first round. Not content with that, he threatened Germany to do the same in case Alternative for Germany and its leader, Alice Weidel, could win the elections or, if necessary, be part of the future government.

This was simply because Elon Musk was going to interview the leader of Alternative for Germany. Giorgia Meloni answered questions from a journalist very adequately. Elon Musk is simply giving his opinion; while other so-called philanthropists like George Soros or Bill Gates spend millions of euros every year promoting deliberate political actions against patriotic or conservative governments around the world.
The latest scandal involving Mr Breton is a major one. Last Friday all Europeans learned that the European Commission has authorised Mr Breton to join the staff of the Bank of America. The Statute of the College of Commissioners clearly imposes a two-year ban on working for companies or organisations that might in any way take advantage of the former Commissioner’s influence. It is a logical rule. It is a fair rule. It is a rule that applies in most Member States. It is a rule of transparency and accountability. Yet Mr Breton, who has spent the last five years lecturing us on compliance, is going to bypass his own statute, with the obvious complicity of Ursula von der Leyen.

This is the reality. The reality that all Europeans have to endure day after day. An absolutely arrogant Brussels elite who believe that laws and rules do not apply to them. And who act consistently with that conviction. The future of Europe, of our democracies and our freedoms lies in putting an end to this caste of bureaucrats and radically transforming the European institutions.
Breton does not believe in democracy. I do not believe in people like Breton.
