Saint-Germain's Poisonous Legacy of "Toxic Loans": Cautionary Tale for the EPO?

Saint-Germain



Summary: Preface or background to a series of posts about Battistelli's French politics and why they can if not should alarm EPO workers

THE EPO keeps talking about the so-called "Inventor Award" -- a ceremony which will take place in Battistelli's theatre at the start of next month. The EPO mentions it about half a dozen times per day and a new puff piece has just been produced. This helps distract from the scam which is passage of EPO budget to Battistelli's other employer, not to mention awarding literal scams. We wrote dozens of articles about that already.



"Over the coming days -- starting today -- we shall publish information not only about the toxic politics in Saint-Germain but also the toxic loans.""We are in the process of finalising a rather long report on the above topic," readers of Techrights said. There had been ongoing work whose aim was to highlight the relevance of local politics in Saint-Germain to the EPO itself. Those things aren't entirely separable because, as has been proven over the years, Battistelli runs the EPO in a very political rather than technical/professional fashion. "For convenience," said our readers, "we have broken it down into "five chunks" as it is probably too long and complex for a single posting."

Over the coming days -- starting today -- we shall publish information not only about the toxic politics in Saint-Germain but also the toxic loans.
