UN GATE, May 4 – In the United Nations pn September 14, 2020, the day before Volkan Bozkir took over as President of the General Assembly, Inner City Press wrote to his spokesperson Brenden Varma "to request the password(s) to access and ask a question at the September 15 press conference."
Varma replied, "This will be my first hybrid press conference, and I’m not sure how virtual access works. Please follow up with MALU."
MALU, run by Melissa Fleming, has not answered. So Inner City Press emailed Varma this question: Why is there NO CONTENT on the PGA's "Ethics and Transparency" page, given that this was the lone reform after it was shown that PGA Ashe took bribes from Ng Lap Seng, and PGA Kutesa arranged bribes from CEFC China Energy? How much did Mr. Bozkir spend on his campaign for PGA? Who paid for all travel? Who are the staff members and who is paying each one?
The response? Brenden Varma, "spokesman" of PGA, blocked Inner City Press on Twitter. Photo here. This is the UN, and Bozkir.
Now on May 4, after months of failure including being rebuffed even by NYC Mayor De Blasio and running interference for Antonio Guterres lust for a second term of bribe taking, on May 3 Bozkir held a staged press conference and afterwards bragged about some of the coverage. Not so fast.
Bozkir on May 4 said, "I wasn't thinking of saying this, but you must not ask these questions continuously to [my spokesperson] Brenden Varma." We call B.S. - his "spokes" person Varma BLOCKS THE PRESS. And Bozkir knows it. It is a charade, a corrupt charade. And he still hadn't answered who pays his staff members, the lone reform to come out of the John Ashe PGA scandal. So, Bozkir is worse than Ashe. Ashe to ashes.
