The Secretary General of the United Nations, the President of the General Assembly, with a clear answer.

Baerbock, ki se danes po letu dni poslavlja s položaja predsednice GS, meni, da je treba tudi absurdne zamisleke obravnavati resno. Ameriški predsednik Donald Trump je bil zaveznik Infantina, in so se pojavile poročila, da bi ga lahko predlagal za naslednika Guterresa. Med njenim mandatom je Baerbock zahtevala bolj transparenten proces izbire in večjo vlogo držav članic, kar je naletelo na kritiko zlasti s strani ZDA in Rusije, ki ju nedavno obtožita, da posegajo v pristojnosti Varnostnega sveta ZN.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the discussion around the 'male game of power' and emphasizes critiques of traditional male-dominated structures in global institutions. While it presents both sides (e.g., mentioning Trump's potential support), the overall tone leans toward highlighting systemic issues of gender,
