For UNGA 2020 Volkan Bozkir Blocks Press As Nepotism Hires Fiji Nehali Anupriya Corrupt

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, Sept 16 – In the United Nations, a list of speakers for the UN General Assembly week Sept 22-29 has been released, photo here.

  On September 14, the day before Volkan Bozkir takes over as President of the General Assembly, Inner City Press wrote to his spokesperson Brenden Varma "to request the password(s) to access and ask a question at the September 15 press conference."

  Varma replied, "This will be my first hybrid press conference, and I’m not sure how virtual access works. Please follow up with MALU."

   MALU, run by Melissa Fleming, has not answered. So Inner City Press emailed Varma this question: Why is there NO CONTENT on the PGA's "Ethics and Transparency" page, given that this was the lone reform after it was shown that PGA Ashe took bribes from Ng Lap Seng, and PGA Kutesa arranged bribes from CEFC China Energy? How much did Mr. Bozkir spend on his campaign for PGA? Who paid for all travel? Who are the staff members and who is paying each one?

  The response? Brenden Varma, "spokesman" of PGA, blocked Inner City Press on Twitter. Photo here.

Now on September 16, with Bozkir and Varma still refusing to provide the most basic information that was the lone reform after twice provide corruption of their office, Inner City Press noted Varma naming as a staffer one "Nehali Anupriya" -- who apparently got the job as the daughter of the UN PR of Fiji, run by a coup leader. Still no answers. Totally corrupt.
This is the UN, and Bozkir. Watch this site.

 Most resident correspondents write nothing, or only propaganda. And who will decide on these "very limited non-resident" [sic] who will be allowed in? Varma called on three separate Turkish media... This is the beginning of a series. Thread here.

 In the first morning there are China and Russia, Qatar, Morocco and Iran. Cameroon's Paul Biya  is on Friday September 24. Watch this site.
