EPO chair and budget for personal agenda. Not only Eponia is being ruined by Battistelli but also the integrity of media.

Summary: The lies about the Unitary Patent are now being broadcast (Battistelli given the platform) by the publication that Battistelli pays

"SMELLY" behaviour from Battistelli has become so mundane or banal that it usually isn't worth reporting. It doesn't merit special attention, but Les Échos is a special case which we wrote about many times before, e.g. in:

• The EPO's Media Partners Like Les Echos Already Produce EPO Puff Pieces (Marketing/Stenography)
• It Pays (Off) to 'Bribe' the Media: Watch How Les Échos Covers EPO Matters and Self-Censors
• French Newspaper Les Echos Censors Criticism of Benoît Battistelli and the EPO (Updated)
• Debunking the EPO's Latest Marketing Nonsense From Les Échos and More on Benoît Battistelli's Nastygram to French Politician
• A Look at the Latest Gross Deletionism at the EPO's 'Media Partner', French Newspaper Les Échos
• Echo Chamber's Lobbying: Team UPC Citing Team UPC as 'Proof' Regarding the UPC

"The UPC Scam" series will resume later today and Battistelli's role in it is clear and is growing.

Here is the latest "blog" post of Battistelli (warning: epo.org link), promoted by the PR people and lying about the prospects of the UPC, as usual. The Liar in Chief took the time to spread UPC misinformation, doing so several days after the very misleading coverage from publications that he bought/paid for directly and less directly. They did this last week, as we mentioned in last week's articles, and Les Échos too participated in this misleading coverage.

Apparently, one misleading article wasn't enough as the EPO wants to gets its money's worth, so now they hand over to the Liar in Chief, again with false predictions (as before, regarding 2016). They are using self-fulfilling prophecies as a method/trick for compelling officials to sell out (wrongly assuming inevitability) and make promises they cannot even commit to (due to constitutional limitations, among other limitations). "Another Mouthpiece EPO Funded Propaganda published by Les Échos," one EPO insider called it.

Les Échos should be ashamed of itself for being a tool of a vindicative thug, a serial bully, a chronic liar, and the person who is right now the biggest embarrassment to France, according to a growing number of French politicians. ⬆
