Former EU Commissioner Acknowledges EU’s Role in Romanian Election Cancellation
Thierry Breton hints at potential EU intervention in other member states to safeguard democratic processes.
In an anti democratic statement, former European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton admitted to the EU’s involvement in canceling Romania’s presidential elections, remarking, 'We did it in Romania, and we will do it in Germany if necessary.' His comments have ignited debates over the EU’s influence on member states’ democratic processes and the balance between intervention and sovereignty.
Former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton admitted that the EU was behind the cancellation of Romania’s 2024 presidential election, using allegations of Russian interference as justification.
Critics argue this was a fabricated excuse to overturn democratic results that EU leaders opposed.
Far-right candidate Călin Georgescu, known for his pro-Russian and anti-NATO stance, had gained significant support, leading the EU to claim election manipulation via social media and cyber-attacks—despite no concrete evidence linking Russia to actions beyond standard international influence tactics.
The decision sparked massive protests in Bucharest, with citizens accusing the EU of undermining democracy to maintain political control.
