UN GATE,
Nov 20 – How corrupt
is today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? Today's sur-follow
up is yet once again on his
mission in Colombia, about
which his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse all Press
questions. Inner City Press
has asked them, and others,
about the newest sex abuse
case against the UN there. Now
this, from a UN whistleblower
sent to Inner City Press:
Dear
Matthew, The information
you have shared has rattled the guilty and
empowered those who, out of fear, have
remained silent. Regarding
Federico Ledesma, it appears that it takes a
predator to protect another. His own
indiscretions are whispered among staff,
with numerous reports of his unwanted
advances towards younger female colleagues,
who often seek to distance themselves out of
fear and disgust. This behavior reflects a
troubling pattern that undermines the values
of the mission.
Mar Brusola’s actions are equally
disturbing. She deliberately targets strong,
experienced, and qualified female staff, a
pattern that reveals a gender bias in her
discriminatory practices. It is shocking
that a peacekeeping mission, struggling
under the guise of a “financial crisis,” can
still facilitate promotions left and
right—courtesy of Brusola and Carlos
Ruiz—for their inner circles, including
friends, romantic partners, and unqualified
individuals. These promotions are handed out
without merit, leaving behind capable
professionals who refuse to play their
games.
The alarming possibility of the still
untidy Brusola being promoted as Chief ORM
under Ruiz only exacerbates concerns. Her
lack of integrity and blatant misuse of
power suggest that her actions will become
even more brazen if left
unchecked.
The clock is ticking for the shocking
and covered-up actions in the field to come
to light. Considering the growing list of
victims and witnesses, we hope this will
eventually reach a court of law, where
justice can prevail. We trust you, Matthew,
to ensure these stories are brought to
public attention.
P.s they’re doing everything they can
think of to try to come after you or get you
to display the names of those who have
contacted you. We trust, based on what you
report, that this will not
happen. Thank you for
giving us a voice
We will
continue - No answer from UN Spox
Dujarric nor
Melissa Fleming on this; they threw Inner City
Press out of the UN for this type of
reporting. Now what? Keep
the info coming.
