World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported40m ago
Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has withdrawn her candidacy for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations. The decision follows a recent poll that placed her in a penultimately low position among eight candidates, a situation she had previously acknowledged with irony on September 3.
Despite the withdrawal of her candidacy, Mexico's Secretariat of Foreign Relations (SRE) reiterated its stance that Bachelet possesses an ideal profile to lead the United Nations. The statements from Mexican authorities underscore ongoing international recognition of her qualifications despite her electoral prospects in the race.
