State-run Asr-e Iran described this dishonoring slap as “humiliation on a global scale” and wrote on June 26 that: “During yesterday’s elections for the post of Secretary General of FAO, Iran’s candidate in competition with candidates from Spain, Brazil, Austria, Indonesia and Iraq, only received 2 votes out of a total of 180. The Brazilian candidate for this post was elected as the new head of FAO.”
Once again, the international community displayed its despise and repugnance vis-à-vis the religious dictatorship in Iran.
