In a surprising turn of events, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has thrown her hat in the ring for the United Nations (UN) post, ousting the previously expected candidate, Helga Schmid. This development, reported by News Agency DPA and sourced from Baerbock's Instagram account, has sparked a flurry of reactions both positive and negative.

Baerbock, in a video posted on her Instagram account from the United Nations General Assembly in New York, expressed her enthusiasm for the new role. However, some users have criticised the video, likening it to staged posts by Instagram influencers.

The former UN Ambassador of Germany, Christoph Heusgen, has been particularly vocal in his criticism. Heusgen accused Baerbock of replacing the best and most internationally experienced German diplomat with a has-been.

Despite these criticisms, others have wished Baerbock success and a steady hand in her new role. Her predecessor as President of the UN General Assembly was Philemon Yang, the former Prime Minister of Cameroon.

Baerbock's decision to step down as Foreign Minister to pursue this new opportunity has undoubtedly shaken up the political landscape. The article, however, makes no mention of the popular television series, Sex and the City.

As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how Baerbock's candidacy will unfold and whether she will indeed make a significant impact on the global stage.
