Amid COVID Lockdown in NYC UN Guterres Ran To Portugal No WHO Comment But Tigray

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Video WHO
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 28 – How corrupt is today's United Nations system?

Well, just as New York prepares to go into another COVID-19 lockdown, its Secretary General Antonio Guterres flew off to Germany and then to his real home in Portugal, before slipping back into New York evade quarantine rules that applies to others.

  Inner City Press has in writing asked Guterres and his spokespeople for two weeks: where is Guterres? No answer. On Christmas eve, insisting it's normal, Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Guterres flew from Berlin to Lisbon. Video here.

   On December 28, while UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming again refused questions, Inner City Press during the WHO media briefing asked, in writing, for the WHO and DG Dr Tedros comment on Guterres' vacation trip to Portugal. Video here. From Tedros and staff, and Marion Koopmans, Quarraisha Abdool Karimm, Dan Barouch, and David Heymann --  no answers.

   In fairness, Tedros did at the end speak about his country (Ethiopia) and region (Tigray), saying his younger brothers in there and he can't contact him. We'll have more on all this.

  So while the UN / US authorities say don't travel for the holidays, corrupt Guterres does it. He is a hypocrite.

  He should quit and not return to New York. But Dujurric says he'll be back on January 4 - evading NY rules - and will work from "the residence," the $15 million public funded mansion he's left empty. (Inner City Press Periscopes here of Dec 24).

 The UK and its new UN ambassador have already said Guterres will go to the UK. But Dujarric refuses to answer, even to his sycophant friends. We'll have more on this. Guterres is a criminal - also covering up UN rapes.

  During the pandemic, Guterres has already sneaked off to Portugal twice. He has allowed his UN Security to keep their gym open when all other gyms in NYC have been closed. When banned Inner City Press asked in writing about this, Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming have refused to answer. It is impunity. He should not return. 

The Germany trip was just a pretext to spend public money to go to Lisbon, where Guterres took money from Gulbenkian which tried to sell its oil company to UN briber CEFC China Energy?

Inner City Press and its questions have been banned from the UN for 895 days by this corrupt Guterres. He should not return.
