UN GATE, July 8 – UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric has been taking taxpayer dollars since the UN administration of Kofi Annan, ostensibly to answer questions from the press and public about the UN.
In 2018 he worked to get Inner City Press, which asked him the most questions at his UN noon briefing, thrown out of the UN. Pushed, he said on camera that he would still answer written questions from Inner City Press by e-mail. Then he stopped doing that. He blocked Inner City Press on Twitter, now X.
Now in 2025, with the reputation of the UN and Dujarric's third Secretary General boss, Antonio Guterres, sinking ever lower, Dujarric appears to have closed his account on X. His handle, @StephDujarric, is now dead.
One wondered, Has Dujarric as a matter of principle quit X for BlueSky, or Threads? No. On BlueSky there is a profile, but not a single skeet much less reply.
The UN is closing in on itself - but still taking taxpayer dollars. Its spokesman is, in fact, nothing but a censor. Watch this site.
