Michelle Bachelet: Chile's former president withdraws UN candidacy
Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has decided to withdraw from the race for the post of UN Secretary-General. The 74-year-old politician made the announcement in a video message published on her Instagram page (owned by Meta, a company deemed extremist and banned in Russia). According to Al Jazeera, Bachelet withdrew her candidacy after the third informal vote in the UN Security Council, where she received only one vote in her favor. The politician admitted that while she does not regret her participation in the campaign, the timing was not right. "I will continue my international activities with the same determination as always. I will continue to actively participate in building a world that is more stable, secure, and sustainable in its development, and in which there must be respect for human rights,” Bachelet said.
