Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton is facing backlash after suggesting that the European Union could intervene in Germany’s upcoming election if the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party wins. Breton’s remarks have intensified concerns about the EU’s influence over sovereign nations and its commitment to democratic principles.
In an interview released Thursday, Breton cited a conversation between Elon Musk and AfD leader Alice Weidel on X as potential “interference” in Germany’s electoral process. Breton warned that the EU might act if it believes election laws are being circumvented, drawing comparisons to a past situation in Romania where the EU intervened after an election result it opposed.

Breton’s comments have alarmed many who view this as a direct threat to Germany’s democratic process. Critics argue that any attempt by the EU to overturn or interfere with the outcome of a national election would confirm long-standing accusations that the bloc is an undemocratic institution willing to override the will of the people.
Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton says the EU has mechanisms to nullify a potential election victory of the AfD:

Elon Musk responded forcefully to Breton’s statements, calling them authoritarian. This is not the first clash between Musk and Breton — last summer, Breton warned Musk about content regulations under the EU’s Digital Services Act, accusing his platform of spreading harmful information. Now, Breton’s targeting of Musk’s recent discussion with Weidel has escalated tensions.

Thierry Breton former European Commissionner resigned recently after threatening Elon about streaming his pre election Trump interview – suggested this could be done in Germany too if AfD succeeds. Europe is very sick.

During their hour-long conversation on X, Musk and Weidel discussed issues like illegal immigration, Germany’s energy policies and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Weidel expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump’s administration would push for peace talks in Ukraine, while Musk supported AfD’s platform, stating, “People really need to get behind the AfD. Otherwise, things are going to get very, very much worse in Germany.”
The EU was able to lean on the courts and nullify a valid election. Now Thierry Breton has been saying that if AfD wins the election in Germany, they will cancel that one just like they did this. The EU doesn’t believe in Democracy unless their candidates win and it’s disgusting. https://t.co/Q4hipjxiWh

Breton’s suggestion of possible EU intervention has been widely condemned as an attack on Germany’s sovereignty. Many are questioning how the EU can claim to defend democracy while openly threatening to override election results that do not align with its political agenda.
This controversy has reignited debates over the EU’s expanding authority and its willingness to interfere in member states’ internal affairs. As Germany’s election approaches, Breton’s comments have intensified concerns that the EU may prioritize political control over democratic integrity.
