UN GATE,
May 19 – How corrupt and
decrepit has the UN system
become under Antonio Guterres,
in this case due to Guterres?
Inner City Press
is today publishing a letter
leaked to it, even while
Guterres bans it from entering
the UN, about among other
things moving jobs out of NYC
and the US: "A global review
of the availability of office
space and costs is currently
under way. At this stage, you
are asked to identify which
functions could be relocated,
rather than determining
specific duty stations for
their relocation. Please
include as much detail as
possible, identifying at a
minimum the functions,
organizational units, post
numbers and grade levels
proposed for relocation. The
outcome of your review is to
be submitted to the Office of
the Controller at
controller@un.org, specifying
the subject “Functional Review
– Relocation to Lower Cost
Locations” by 16 May 2025."

Back on May 13,
2025 he sent sent a letter to
staff, leaked to Inner City
Press, in which Guterres
bemoans leaks: "I realize that
“leaks” and rumours may create
unnecessary anxiety. We are
currently in the proposals
development phase... It
is important to emphasize that
these internal consultations
and functional reviews are
preliminary steps aimed at
generating ideas and exploring
options. They do not represent
the final position of
management." We'll see.
Guterres had the
critical Press roughed
up and thrown out. There
has been no due process since,
not even a response to Guterres'
Melissa Fleming to a pro bono inquiry
for Inner City Press from the
law firm Quinn Emanuel. We'll
have more on this.
