| As
Washington Targets Wrong
Portuguese in UN Guterres Grabs
Corrupt UNOPS as Bans Press

UN GATE, March 30
–
In the UN
system a big
wig from
Portugal is
being targeted
by the US. But
he's the wrong
Portuguese to
be targeted,
and few will
say it.
Just as
Antonio
Guterres, the
UN Secretary
General who bans
from all UN
premises the
Press which
questioned his
failure to
include his link
to UN bribery
firm China
Energy Fund
Committee in
his public
financial
disclosures,
through the
Gulbenkian
Foundation
from which he
took money,
give the UNOPS
job to a
Portuguese
crony, the US
guns for
IOM.
Amy
Pope, the
deputy
director there
since 2021,
wants the top
job, is
challenging
the
re-election of
her boss,
Director-General
António
Vitorino.
Big
Boss Tony
Guterres
doesn't like
it.
But
not wanting to
fight an
Administration
who has left
him more
unaccountable
than the bank
regulators who
coddled
Silicon Valley
Bank to the
end, Guterres
has gotten
passive-aggressive
revenge.
From his
spokesman /
censor
Stephane
Dujarric, who
has refused
all written
questions from
Inner City
Press despite
an on-camera statement
that he would
answer, this:
"United
Nations
Secretary-General
António
Guterres
announced
today the
appointment of
Jorge Moreira
da Silva of
Portugal as
Executive
Director of
the United
Nations Office
for Project
Services.
Moreira da
Silva was the
Minister of
Environment,
Energy and
Spatial
Planning of
Portugal from
2013 to 2015
and Visiting
Full Professor
at the Lisbon
University.
Previously he
was Senior
Adviser to the
President of
Portugal on
Science and
Environment
(2006-2009),
Secretary of
State for
Environment
and Spatial
Planning
(2004-2005),
Secretary of
State for
Science and
Higher
Education
(2003-2004),
and as a
Member of the
Portuguese
Parliament.
Mr. Moreira da
Silva
graduated from
the University
of Porto,
Portugal, with
a degree in
Electrical and
Computer
Engineering."
Yes,
in Guterres'
UN, the
engineering of
corruption.
We'll have
more on this.
