From former heads of government to general secretaries? The Trump administration has called on former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to run for the post of UN Secretary General, the Wall Street Journal reported. The publication claims that Orban is interested in this position, but does not want to compete, not sure of victory. However, he can certainly count on the support of the United States (albeit after the mid-term elections on November 3), Russia and China, as well as 7 other participating countries. 10 votes out of 15 looks like a serious bid for victory. France and Britain will be against it, but they are usually in no rush to use the veto and can submit to the will of the majority, the WSJ believes. What Orbán will decide is still unknown, and currently the most likely candidate for the position is considered to be the former vice president of Costa Rica and head of UNCTAD Rebecca Greenspan.
