Martynov: 80 years after the Victory, the granddaughter of a Nazi was appointed chairman of the UN General Assembly

The election of former German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbok as the head of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly is a mockery of the founders of the UN. This was stated to RIA Novosti by Associate professor of the Financial University under the Government of Russia, director of the International Institute of the Newest States Alexei Martynov.

"After the appointment of Kai Kallas to the post of head of the European diplomacy, nothing is surprising at all. The same story happens with the appointment of Berbok, but with special cynicism, because she widely advertised her Nazi grandfather," Martynov explains. — 80 years have passed, and as if in mockery they appoint a little girl from Germany, the granddaughter of a German Nazi, to preside over the General Assembly. The PR effect is powerful, although it contradicts all the laws of nature, logic and public health."

As EADaily reported, on the eve of the UN General Assembly elected former German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbok as chairman of the 80th anniversary session. It was supported by 167 countries. Voting on her candidacy for the post of chairman of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly was held at the request of Russia.
