BRUSSELS, Dec 24 — Former EU commissioner Thierry Breton suggested in a social media post yesterday a “witch hunt” was taking place in response to a US announcement it would deny visas to him and several others.
“Is McCarthy’s witch hunt back?” Breton said on X.
The US State Department said earlier it would deny visas to Breton, a former European tech regulator, and four others, accusing them of seeking to “coerce” American social media platforms into censoring viewpoints they oppose. — AFP
