In Corrupt UN of Guterres Mistress of UNESCO Kacyanides Is Prepped For Promotion

By Matthew Russell Lee & sources, Exclusive

UN GATE, Nov 18 –  Under the French Administration, UNESCO is a never-ending diplomatic drama. It mirrors the corruption of the entire UN system under Antonio Guterres.

  Inner City Press was informed this week, while Guterres ordered destruction of evidence of sex abuse information, of the latest news from the cabinet of the French UNESCO DG Audrey Azoulay.

  Following the exposure of her disastrous directorship of the Agency, now measures are taken to get rid of Nicolas Kacyanides. According to internal sources, Kacyanides will be replaced and the new Director of her cabinet, to be appointed in the coming weeks, will be Roland Husson, a former deputy director of cabinet at the French ministry of culture under Azoulay, prior to her UNESCO job.

 A Frenchman replacing another Frenchman, as with UN Peacekeeping from Guehenno to Ladsous to Lacroix.

   “When he got to know about the planned change, Kacyanides started to panic. The time ahead was too short to deliver on the promised promotion to his mistress,” pointed out a UNESCO source.

  The lady, whose name we know, is working with him and he is her direct supervisor. This is Guterres' UN: the use the vested authority to pay back for sexual favors. 

“The romance between Kacyanides and this colleague is a sign of rot under Guterres," a cabinet staff member opined. "The majority of the other colleagues are feeling very uncomfortable. The shameless bragging about it by the female colleague, who is speaking openly about her bright career prospects thanks to her boss are utterly revolting”.   

  In order to get her promoted, Kacyanides mobilized the HR administration of the Paris based Agency and requested that a solution be found for an immediate promotion of the lady.

He was presented with several options elaborated by ADG for Administration Nicholas Jeffreys, Kazumi Ogawa, the Japanese Director of the Bureau for HR and by Amita Vohra, senior advisor for HR issues in the Cabinet of Azoulay.  Ultimately Guterres is responsible.

 But poor kid Kacyanides is apparently ignorant that this is not the first time the lady is using this same moving staircase in order to carry her advancements between the floors of the Fontenoy building.

   In September 2019, Inner City Press cited a senior UNESCO staff member saying, “if DG Azoulay still believe she has a chance for re-election, one of her first steps should be to get rid of her Director of Cabinet, Kassianides, the young inexperienced French fellow from the Quai d’Orsay," see here.

   Who then may take the decision to remove in the very near future the “chaud lapin” ('horny rabbit') heading the UNESCO cabinet, since securing a job contingent on sex is definitely proscribed even for the French staff at UNESCO?

Until Guterres turned the UNDT into his personal kangaroo court, banning the Press and ordering the destruction of evidence, there was a legal basis against such deeds and some courts have considered sexual favors for job promotion as a “bribe” punishable under the Staff Regulations and Rules of the United Nations : “Specific instances of prohibited conduct”: (e) Sexual exploitation and abuse is prohibited. (…) The exchange of money, employment, goods or services for sex, including sexual favours (…) is prohibited." Dead letter?

Despite all major errors by Nicolas Kacyanides accumulated over the last year and a half, the French administration of UNESCO may try again to save his head but most probably the political wisdom will prevail this time and in order to protect the French DG in her reelection effort, Kacyanides will be removed from his cushy job. This is where UNESCO stands today.

Just another UN Agency propitious to the flourishing of corruption, sexual performances-based promotions, abuse of power and nepotism. Guterres is killing what is left of the UN's credibility. We will have more on that.
