EPO’s European Inventor Award 2016 (EIA16) is Not an Award Event, It Is a Propaganda and Lobbying Event of Battistelli, EPO Just Foots the Bill

UPC ratification and other favours among the real motivations and paid-for media the means

Portugal and Battistelli



Summary: The truly terrible reality behind EIA16, which is nothing other than self-serving Battistelli propaganda which costs a lot of money and distorts European media

THE EPO (Organisation) as a whole merely embarrasses itself with the silly (and risky) EIA16 charade, which is somewhat like a beauty pageant dressed up as "science". It mirrors what Blatter was doing at FIFA in his last days.



Just over an hour ago the EPO's PR folks retweeted the following from Carlos Moedas (with the photo at the top): "Inspiring #EIA16 opening ceremony with EPOorg President Mr. Battistelli and Prime Minister Costa" (Moedas is European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, so he too is being lobbied and was perhaps invited to be brainwashed).

"Battistelli, who had the EPO cover the costs for this charade of his, is about as crazy as Blatter (totally out of touch with reality)."Mr. Battistelli is lobbying Portugal very much as expected, as correctly predicted in our previous coverage of this. To use the words of someone from the EPO who saw that: "My stomach churns as this theater is absurd!"

The EPO shows us that not only politicians can buy the media. Mr. Battistelli does the same thing; he literally paid an estimated millions of Euros to the media (the exact number is unknown to us, but we can extrapolate based on last year).

Battistelli, who had the EPO cover the costs for this charade of his, is about as crazy as Blatter (totally out of touch with reality). He apparently said: “Our ambition is that the European Inventor Award becomes the Nobel Prize for innovation” (who does he think he is, Alfred Nobel? No wonder he wastes a fortune on six unnecessary bodyguards, demonstrating his megalomania and having the EPO cover all the costs with dubious pretexts).

"EIA2016 may not effective enough a distraction (e.g. from today's protests), but does Battistelli care? He doesn't pay a dime for this. He's draining the Office dry just to cover his own behind right now."viEUws, which is a media partner of the EPO this year (we assume it got paid by Battistelli's EPO, but we don't know how much), continues to to do puff pieces, having already produced some for Battistelli several months ago (as it already did a softball questions 'interview' with Battistelli). How much was spent on this? The EPO certainly paid a lot of money to the Financial Times (London) to play along with this charade and it still shows. More EPO-sponsored propaganda from the Financial Times can be seen today and it's part of a broader wave of puff pieces in France, in Germany, and several other countries (the EPO paid another half a dozen media companies).

EIA2016 may not effective enough a distraction (e.g. from today's protests), but does Battistelli care? He doesn't pay a dime for this. He's draining the Office dry just to cover his own behind right now.

The EPO is collapsing while spending millions of Euros hiding this collapse. Battistelli has totally destroyed the EPO and if he's not ejected later this month, there will be serious consequences. Board 28 certainly knows this.
