UN GATE, Aug 20 –
UN Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres has
disappeared
for weeks,
most recently
silent about
the missiles
fired at
Chernihiv in
Urkaine.
When Inner
City Press,
which Guterres
has banned
from the UN,
asks his
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric such
questions as
how much
Guterres' many
vacations cost
the global
taxpayers,
Dujarric
refuses to
answer.
But
selectively he
had reached
out to a media
in Algeria,
claiming that
if they had
asked, it
would have
answered:
the
spokesman for
the Secretary
General of the
United
Nations,
Stéphane
Dujarric. "I
am writing to
you, following
the
publication of
your article
concerning the
holidays of
Antonio
Guterres,
Secretary
General of the
United
Nations",
indicated the
spokesperson
in a precision
stressing that
he was
"saddened to
see that the
article
relayed
totally false
information.
He claimed
that “these
facts could
very easily
have been
verified by a
simple email
or phone call
to the United
Nations.
Unfortunately,
the tone of
the article
leaves little
room for doubt
as to the
journalist's
intentions and
bias vis-à-vis
the Secretary
General”.
Stéphane
Dujarric
specifies in
this regard
that "the
secretary-general
is indeed on
vacation, but
his holidays
take place in
Portugal as
well as in the
United States,
and in no case
in Fez". The
spokesperson
for the
Secretary
General of the
United Nations
also specifies
that "if the
photos
published were
indeed taken
in Fez, they
were taken in
November 2022,
during the
participation
of the
Secretary
General in the
Forum of the
Alliance of
Civilizations
of United
Nations. There
too, these are
public facts
and very
easily
verifiable”.
So
we're asking:
where in the
US? And at
what cost? And
why no
response of
any kind to
Inner City
Press' June
19, 2023
application to
enter and
cover UNGA
high level
week in
September?
Guterres is a
censor.
