One European bigwig wants Brussels to go even further. When asked on French television last week how best to respond to Musk’s meddling, former EU commissioner Thierry Breton offered a jaw-dropping ‘solution’: ‘We did it in Romania and we will obviously do it in Germany if necessary.’ What Breton was referring to was last month’s outrageous cancellation of the Romanian presidential elections. When it became apparent that the ‘wrong’ candidate – an oddball, Putin-supporting, anti-vaccine populist – had won the first-round vote, the Romanian Supreme Court intervened to declare his victory null and void. Presumably, Breton would like to see the same thing happen in Germany in the event of an AfD victory in February. If the election doesn’t go the EU’s way, in other words, then it should be cancelled.
