Following in Wasteful Footsteps of Guterres, Germany's Gerd Muller Wants To Run UNIDO

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

UN GATE, May 24 – While blocking at least seven opponents from even having their applications circulated, Antonio Guterres on May 7 held a ghoulish one-man "debate" on the road to stealing a second five-year term as UN Secretary General. Inner City Press live tweeted it, here.

  One of Guterres' many hypocrisies is using public money for junkets to his home in Lisbon, while not disclosing when or how much it costs.

Now, since a fish rots from the head, Germany's Gerd Muller says he wants to run the UN system's long-outdated (and many say useless) United Nations Industrial Development Organization, UNIDO - after a scandal in Germany in which "Müller is being criticized for taking his wife with him in government machines on trips abroad, but forbidding opposition politicians to travel with him. In addition, it is unclear how much his wife paid for the trips. criticism of Minister Gerd Müller (CSU) being accompanied by his wife on trips abroad. "It is correct that the minister was accompanied by his wife on his travels to Africa and in crisis and refugee areas, which is possible for members of the government." The "Bild am Sonntag" reported that Christoph Hoffmann, development policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, however, told “Bild am Sonntag”: “There was not an invitation during the entire legislative period. I have mentioned this several times. ”The development policy spokesman for the Greens, Uwe Kekeritz, has not been allowed to accompany Müller even once since 2014, the newspaper reported. The development policy spokesman for the SPD faction, Sascha Raabe, was briefly unloaded during a trip to Africa in February 2020 because there was no more space in the government machine because of Müller's wife.  According to "Bild am Sonntag", Müller is said to be the only minister from the federal cabinet who took the opportunity to take his wife with him in the government machine."  What is more- watch this site.

  The UN is getting (even) worse -- when Guterres did his one-man Dear Leader presentation to the UN Security Council, it was not public. Norway bragged about its questions; the spin was that Guterres will be handed five more years as early as June. Even Josh Rogin trashed it, while not exposing the full extent of Guterres' corruption. Today's UN is in deep, deep decline. Watch this site.

Here it is: #Cameroon's Tommo Monthe, who bragged to Inner City Press that while he was chair of the UN Budget Committee and met with  @AntonioGuterres , his president Biya's mass killing of Anglophones never came up, offers support to Guterres to finish. #Genocide

 The  @UN_PGA  @Zolkan_Bozkir, who has blocked all opponents to  @AntonioGuterres , claimed he had to stop at 1 pm. But now at 1:01 pm he gives floor to #Qatar. #MoneyTalks #UNforSale #GuterresForSale

Lying to the end,  @AntonioGuterres  ends it with 10 countries not allowed to speak, he says "all questions will be answered"- while he has banned Inner City Press 1040 days and his  @UN_Spokesperson  refuses all of its written questions, lying
