Overview
- Serving as UN General Assembly president since September, Annalena Baerbock posted a short Instagram video showing her walk through Central Park over a “Gossip Girl” voiceover.
- She adapts the quote to note that the UN committee season has started, stressing that diplomats from all 193 member states draft resolutions in six main committees.
- Responses range from praise and heart emojis to sharp criticism, with comments calling the videos “peinlich,” “self-satisfied,” and “incompetent.”
- As of Sunday, the post had about 2,500 likes on an account with more than 700,000 followers, according to reported figures.
- The video follows an earlier “Sex and the City”‑styled post that also drew scrutiny, and some critics have tied her appointment and visibility to German domestic politics and the earlier mention of Helga Schmid.
