António Campinos Should Speak to Peasants, Not Litigation Lawyers

"A campino (Portuguese: [kɐ̃ˈpinu]) is a cattle herder in the Portuguese region of Ribatejo. Campinos work on horse-back, using a long pole (a pampilho or lance) to manage and direct the herd. Campinos are also known for their distinctive attire, which consists of a green and red stocking cap with a tassel, white shirt with full sleeves, red vest, short dark trousers and white stockings. This is similar to the traditional attire of the forcado, the difference being mainly in the colours." --English Wikipedia

Hill Top Town



Summary: Mr. Campinos does not work for campinos but against campinos; he represents the people who sue or threaten them using ludicrous patents that should never have been granted (e.g. in Ethiopia)

ANY time António Campinos is going around the world he would inevitably take photo ops with a bunch of lawyers/officials but never poor people. Unlike his father, he does not even pretend to care for the common people. The Battistellis are renowned if not notorious for Mafia connections; French officials warned about Mr. Battistelli before he became President of the European Patent Office (EPO); he then removed these officials. The EPO never recovered from this 'Mafia-like' culture.



"Don't be misled by the name. António does not work for the campinos. He works for the Mafia."The EPO lost sight of the world's population and its needs. Not only did it grant loads of patents on life and nature. It also impeded access to medicines and green technology (granting patent monopolies in that domain means restricting access to solutions).

Judging by a recent survey, Campinos has fooled almost nobody with his one-on-one meetings. 2 years down the road people rightly view Campinos as the force of occupation (Portuguese as a language did not spread by peaceful means). Whose occupation? Maybe Battistelli's Mafia. A lot of the same thugs, Battistelli's mates and their relatives, are still in positions of power. Campinos keeps them for himself.

Don't be misled by the name. António does not work for the campinos. He works for the Mafia. Think Antonio Balsamo.
