However, Breton unexpectedly pulled the plug, accusing von der Leyen of going behind his back to try to convince Macron to ditch him.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA few days ago, in the very final stretch of negotiations on the composition of the future College, you asked France to withdraw my name \u2013 for personal reasons that in no instance you have discussed directly with me,\u201d<\/em> Breton wrote, in a scorching message to von der Leyen on X.<\/p>\n<p>The shock resignation comes a day before the commission president was expected to unveil the makeup of the College of Commissioners, which she wants to be more gender-balanced. Smaller EU members, including Slovenia and Romania have withdrawn male candidates under pressure from von der Leyen, replacing them with women, according to Politico.<\/p>\n<p>        <span><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/597236-report-eu-leaders-disappointed-von-der-leyen\/\">Von der Leyen facing growing discontent in EU capitals \u2013 media<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn light of these latest developments \u2013 further testimony to questionable governance \u2013 I have to conclude that I can no longer exercise my duties in the College,\u201d<\/em> Breton continued.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI am therefore resigning from my position as European Commissioner, effective immediately.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Breton went on to accuse von der Leyen of having offered France a more influential portfolio if Macron were to switch candidates, a tactic she has reportedly tried with smaller EU member countries.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions between Paris and Brussels over France\u2019s potential portfolio in the next European Commission have reportedly been rising over the past days. <em>\u201cFrance is not satisfied with the portfolio scope allocated to Thierry Breton,\u201d<\/em> a senior French official from Macron\u2019s party told Politico, before addressing rumors that Italy\u2019s commissioner designate would get a coveted economics job.<\/p>\n<p>Breton and von der Leyen are believed to have clashed repeatedly, both in private and in public, during the last five years.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thierry Breton resigns in a rebuke of the leadership of European Commission President Read Full Article at RT.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
