France strongly opposed the possible appointment of Victor Orbán as UN Secretary-General. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barro, emphasized that the appointment of the head of the international organization should match his tasks. "The position of UN Secretary General should not be a consolation prize for a leader who has been ousted by his own people," he said.
