Bachelet on her candidacy to lead the UN: "I know I'm not going to be Secretary General"

Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has acknowledged that she will not become the next Secretary-General of the United Nations. Speaking in Santiago de Chile on September 3, Bachelet addressed the complex scenario surrounding her potential candidacy to lead the international organization, explicitly stating, "I know I am not going to be Secretary-General."

Bachelet governed Chile across two non-consecutive terms from 2006 to 2010 and from 2014 to 2018. Her recent remarks offer a candid assessment of the challenging political landscape facing her bid for the high-profile global leadership position at the United Nations.
