Priority question for written answer P-000261/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Piotr Müller (ECR)
In recent remarks, former Commissioner Thierry Breton said that the EU had played a role in the annulment of the presidential elections in Romania. He claimed the decision was motivated by the EU’s concerns about the election result and hinted at the possibility of similar action in other Member States.
In view of this, I would ask the Commission for clear answers to the following questions:
- 1.Legal basis: on what legal basis did it take action to annul the presidential elections in Romania?
- 2.Position on comments: what is the Commission’s official position on the words of former Commissioner Thierry Breton? Does it support his claims?
- 3.Plans with respect to other countries: is the Commission contemplating action to annul or challenge the election results in Poland if the left or liberals deem the election campaign on social media too intensive or controversial?
We expect clear answers, free from sweeping statements and bureaucratic jargon, so that the general public can understand the legal bases, intentions and scope of any action the Commission may take.
