Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, on Monday in Madrid.Samuel Sánchez
The U.N. secretary general talks to EL PAÍS about the Russian invasion, Europe’s failure to address the refugee crisis and why more needs to be done to address global warming
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres was awarded the Charles V European Award on Tuesday at the Yuste Monastery in Cáceres, Spain. Upon receiving the award from Spain’s King Felipe VI, Guterres said the recognition held “special meaning” for him.
“When I won the first election [in Portugal, 1995] I went with my wife to Yuste, and I was impressed to see that someone who had been emperor of the world spent the last years of his life, after abdicating, in a very simple monastery, which is a lesson for many politicians today,” said Guterres. When he speaks — in a soft and slow Spanish peppered with Portuguese terms — Guterres seems to yearn for a retirement like that of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, far from today’s troubled world, where he must address the war in Ukraine, global warming and the refugee crisis. He spoke about these problems in an interview with EL PAÍS on Monday.

WNU Editor: The UN Secretary General is correct. Both sides are firmly convinced that they can win.
But the US Secretary General is avoiding another reason why peace negotiations are not possible, and that is last weeks drone attack on the Kremlin. Just like it was impossible for the US to negotiate with Al Qaeda after 9/11, it is also now impossible for the Kremlin to negotiate with Kyiv.

Nobody is going to the UN to conduct that kind of diplomacy. It's a compromised organization through and through.
The WNU Editor just compared 9/11 to a single drone 'attack' that happened on the Kremlin that resulted in zero damage and was captured by multitude of camera angles.
You can't make this stuff up.
We've all missed the important matter here. He's keeping global warming at the very forefront of priorities. I'm glad he's getting that award.
Guterres is obviously a genius, who probably deserves at least the next 5 Nobel Peace Prizes. (A few years ago, after Obama received one, some roadside dive in Texas offered a free Nobel Peace Prize with each fish taco order LOL) God love the U.N. Paragon of bureaucratic in-breeding, corruption, and ineptitude
And a currently serving US congress woman reduced 9/11 to just some people doing something. You can’t make this stuff up
you mean the orchestrated self inflicted drone attack that hit nothing like a baby?
3:23 laughable right? I find it laughable that the one behind all the mess going on is acting that somebody trying to hit them that caused them no harm.
should we allowed ourselves to be fooled?
I’ll pull a move out of the liberal/progressive playbook here. PROOF AND EVIDENCE PLEASE
