New York City’s failed leftwing Mayor Bill de Blasio has managed to pick a fight with the current president of the United Nations General Assembly, Volkan Bozkir. Bozkir requested an in-person meeting with the mayor of the UN’s host city to discuss the impact of the coronavirus on conditions in the city where UN personnel and diplomats live and work, as well as to discuss other topics of mutual interest. De Blasio’s office flatly turned down the request without offering any reason for the snub.
“I was saddened to learn that the Mayor was unavailable to meet with me,” Bozkir said in a statement. “This lack of interaction concerns me as policies devised by the City of New York directly affect the work of the United Nations and by extension millions of lives across the globe.”
