EU intervention in elections? Breton's shocking demand!

In a sensational interview, former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton raised the possibility that the result of the German federal elections could be annulled. He justified this with the so-called “Musk interference”. He cited the elections in Romania, which saw similar interventions, as a model. According to Breton, this is not the first time that the EU has resorted to such measures to influence election results. Harald Vilimsky, the head of the liberal delegation in the European Parliament, expressed sharp criticism of Breton's comments. He described the plan as worrying and warned that it could jeopardize the population's trust in the integrity of the electoral process APA-OTS reports.

Politics under pressure

Vilimsky criticized the fact that the EU, in its arrogance, seems to believe it has the right to “correct” undesirable election results. This is a clear attack on the democratic principles and sovereignty of the member states. In another point, Vilimsky pointed out the EU's aggressive approach towards Elon Musk, who is regularly put under pressure because of his Platform X and alleged violations of EU rules. According to Vilimsky, it is alarming how the EU targets figures who support freedom of expression. Such attacks could be seen as a dangerous infringement on fundamental rights, which further increases concerns about the independence of institutions afeu.at.

The discussion about the annulment of election results and the EU's aggressive stance towards Elon Musk illustrate a worrying development in European politics. Experts fear that such measures could not only change the political landscape, but also undermine trust in democratic processes in the long term. The criticism leveled at the events by Vilimsky and other politicians highlights the importance of upholding the principles of democracy and protecting the integrity of elections.
