UN GATE, June 11 – After eight years of failure as UNSG, Antonio Guterres is trying to pick his successor. First, this from over the transom: " Rebeca Grynspan took the helm of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in 2021 imbued with unbridled ambition. She immediately embarked on a campaign to use the position as a steppingstone to the UN Secretary-General job in 2026 and started positioning her close allies to set up the necessary machinery for that. As the organization marks its 60th anniversary this year, the milestone serves not as a celebration but as another launchpad for Grynspan’s shameless campaign for the top UN job, with the tacit support of UN chief Antonio Guterres, expected to grace the main event in Geneva in June 12. Sources within the UN in New York described Grynspan as Guterres’s “favourite”, indicating that his participation will serve as his endorsement of her premature candidature for the top UN job."
Inner City Press filled out a poll on June 11 - the most important qualification for any future SG is refusal to censor as Guterres has. Watch this site.
