The next 7 votes were nominated by the FRG initially erstwhile Secretary-General of the OSCE Helgi Schmid – her name, as explained in her Telegram channel by the first deputy permanent typical of Russia at the UN Dmitri Polanski, wrote in the ballot cards "rebels".
Berbock herself said after the vote that the 80th session of the UN General Assembly would be a "decisive moment" for the world's organization due to the fact that it is under tremendous political and financial pressure. Berbok promised that her door “will always be open to all.”
