Will Breton's Final Salvo Rock von der Leyen's Boat Even Further?

Thierry Breton's surprisingly public last-minute resignation as France's European Commission nominee was the talk of the town on Monday.While Paris quickly replaced the outgoing Commissioner with former MEP and Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Séjourné, Breton's final salvo aimed at Commission President Ursula von der Leyen further made sure her new mandate was off to a rocky start.Will von der Leyen weather the storm, and is she really as opposed to critical voices among her Commissioners as Breton insinuated?Today, Radio Schuman asks Elvire Fabry, a senior researcher at the Institut Jacques Delors, to comment on the Commission's fiery start to the week.We also glance at the agenda for today's Parliament's Strasburg plenary session. Notably, a few last-minute changes occurred, with floods preventing Hungary's Prime MInister Viktor Orbán from making an appearance.On a lighter note, we'll tell you which country in Europe has the best work-sleep balance and why.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron and music by Alexandre Jas.
