The candidacy of a new NATO Secretary General may not be appointed as soon as expected, because the main favorite for the nomination, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, plans to block Hungary. This was reported by the Netherlands Broadcasting Company (NOS) with reference to sources, Day.Az reports with reference to Lenta.ru.
In particular, the publication notes that Rutte “is an important candidate for the post of NATO Secretary General,” and his candidacy should have been quickly approved. However, Budapest objected, indicating that it would not support the politician and his nomination for office. In addition, in addition to Hungary, Romania has announced plans to nominate its incumbent president, Klaus Iohannis, whose second presidential term ends this year.
To approve the candidacy of the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, the consent of all member countries of the alliance is required.
