UNITED
NATIONS, April
26 -- How
secret and
selective has
the UN become?
On
April 25,
Inner City
Press asked
Secretary
General Ban
Ki-moon's
spokesman
Martin
Nesirky:
Inner
City Press: it
is reported
that former
President
Nicolas
Sarkozy will
meet with Ban
Ki-moon today.
This was
something said
by his
entourage... I
looked at his
schedule; it’s
not there. Are
we
missing
something or
are they
misinformed
that Mr.
Sarkozy will
be
meeting with
Ban Ki-moon?
Spokesperson
Nesirky:
I will check
for you, I am
not aware of
anything
happening
today. I will
check for you.
Then
Inner City
Press heard
nothing back
from Nesirky.
Ban Ki-moon's
schedule for
April 26, when
it was put
online, did
not mention
any
meeting with
Sarkozy.
But
at noon on
April 26,
Nesirky told
Agence France
Presse that
yes, Ban
would be
meeting with
Sarkozy.
Inner
City Press
asked why it
was not listed
on Ban's
schedule, and
why it
was not told,
since it asked
the question
24 hours
before.
Nesirky's
response
was that the
meeting is
“private” --
how many
“private”
political
meeting does
Ban Ki-moon
have?
Sarkozy's team
say the
meeting will
"evoke
the principal
international
subjects."
That's
private?
Sarkozy is now
involved in
investing
money for
Qatar - which
has its own
subjects.has
Then Nesirky
said that
since
Inner City
Press had
asked about
April 25, it
was fine not
to answer
and say the
meeting would
be April 26.
Is that fine?
The Free
UN
Coalition for
Access
says no. Watch
