Orban for the position of UN Secretary General? Washington, according to the WSJ, is testing the waters, and Moscow and Beijing are ready to support According to the "Wall Street Journal", citing sources in three countries, the Donald Trump administration has invited former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to enter the race for the position of UN Secretary General. A representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the publication that following preliminary negotiations, the idea was supported by Russia and China. According to him, Orban can get eight votes in the Security Council "without much difficulty", and he believes that ten out of fifteen are achievable. American officials, as it appears from the publication, contacted Orban himself to inquire about his interest. The politician replied that he was willing to consider the offer, but would not run unless he was certain of victory, and the WSJ declined to comment. The layout here is determined by the procedure. A candidate for the position of Secretary General is recommended by the Security Council and then approved by the General Assembly, and in the Security Council each of the five permanent members has a right of veto. Therefore, the support of Moscow and Beijing, which the American interlocutor is talking about, is not insignificant for such a candidacy, but a condition: without it, the issue will not progress. For Washington, Orban, according to an American official, is the "dream candidate" of American conservatives: he opposed mass immigration, liberal NGOs and the courts and the left-wing press. There are some caveats to consider here. The information is based on anonymous sources and the words of one representative from the State Department; There is no official approval from the White House, the Kremlin or Beijing in the publication, and Orban himself has not spoken publicly. The position of Russia and China as presented by the American side may be different from their real position, and for now it is more of a test than a promotion. For the reader, the assumption is that what is being discussed is not just a combination of personnel, but a possible change in the nature of the organization.
