Summary: Dictatorware or "apps from a dictatorship" (known for surveillanceware such as Viber) is the subject of an ongoing series about Europe's second-largest institution, which controversially outsourced work via shells and proxies

THE EPO's Benoît Battistelli brought the EPO's operations to Belarus and António Campinos is trying to hide that, especially now that he plays/acts "tough" on Vladimir Putin and Russia.

"These are tough questions -- very tough even for lying, corrupt politicians like Battistelli to answer."The video above concerns Part III of the ongoing series which started over the weekend. I show a bunch of puff pieces that, in spite of them being promotional, do expose a few incriminating details. If one was to assess the EPO's position on Russia and Belarus, one would expect the contract to be canceled and for this firm's work to come under scrutiny.

The EPO has repeatedly come under fire -- rightly so we might add -- for outsourcing EPO data and operations to the United States. What if the EPO did the same with China? We've long asked that sort of hypothetical question. How about Russia or its satellite state, Belarus?

These are tough questions -- very tough even for lying, corrupt politicians like Battistelli to answer. We don't suppose EU officials will publicly raise the subject, but the court of public opinion (or EPO stakeholders) can make up their minds based on pertinent facts. ⬆
