Baerbock’s New New York Instagram Clip Draws Fresh Criticism Before UN General Assembly Swearing-In

The videos signal a push to share behind-the-scenes diplomacy in English ahead of her 9 September swearing-in.

Overview

  • Annalena Baerbock posted a new Instagram video showing her grabbing a bagel and a coffee-to-go in New York and walking toward the UN Plaza.
  • The clip was filmed at Chelsea Bagel & Cafe on Second Avenue and shows her filling a paper cup at the coffee dispenser.
  • Online reactions included mockery and complaints about the single-use cup and the influencer-style presentation of her move to New York.
  • BILD noted a potential timing inconsistency, pointing to a shop clock reading 10:40 while the post went up at a much earlier local hour.
  • Baerbock says she will share more English-language content from New York and is due to be sworn in as President of the 80th UN General Assembly on 9 September.
