France's Breton steps down as EU commissioner
On Monday, French European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton resigned from the bloc's executive body with immediate effect, publishing a picture of his resignation letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on 'X.'
Breton, in the letter, said von der Leyen "a few days ago" had asked France to withdraw his name as the country's pick for the Commission "for personal reasons" in return for an "allegedly more influential portfolio."
"In light of these latest developments - further testimony to questionable governance - I have to conclude that I can no longer exercise my duties in the College," Breton said in the letter.
His announcement comes as von der Leyen finalizes her list of commissioners following EU elections this summer. Each EU member state will have one seat at the Commission's table, although their political weight and importance varies greatly depending on the portfolio.
The French presidency and von der Leyen's office could not immediately be reached for comment.
