Bonum Certa Men Certa

Recycling Enablers of the EPO Regime and Bribing Them (or Rewarding Them) Years Later

Summary: The sad state of the EPO seems to involve a "dangerous cocktail" of soft bribes, threats/blackmail, and nepotism; today we look at states with a population as small as 2,500 smaller than Germany's

THE 29th part of the current EPO series was published this morning. We've shown how Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos reward their enables in Monaco (more or less just part of France, which is where both Battistelli and Campinos are from).



This problem is actually a lot more profound; small states with fewer than 40,000 citizens have been given too much power in EPO governance -- a power they're eager to misuse if there's something to be gained from doing so. We've already mention how some of the individuals who did this were handsomely rewarded, e.g. rising to positions of considerable power in spite of a lack of experience. Sometimes the notorious EIA festival is also part of the 'money-laundering' cycle, as the video above notes (towards the end).
