Breton out, Séjourné in: What triggered the resignation?

Thierry Breton, the EU's Internal Market Commissioner, announced his resignation from the European Commission on 16 September, citing tensions with President Ursula von der Leyen. In a public letter, Breton accused von der Leyen of requesting that France replace him in a political trade-off for a more influential portfolio, and criticised her "questionable governance".

Just hours later, President Emmanuel Macron nominated Stéphane Séjourné as France’s new Commissioner. But does the new French commissioner-designate have what it takes for the job, and when can we expect the full list of portfolios?

To look into these questions, we’re joined by our Defence Editor, Aurélie Pugnet.
