From the past week or so (commentary added; video to follow)
Summary: 8 years ago Benoît Battistelli said that the UPC was imminent; now, after 4 years of António Campinos, it's still not here and Team UPC speculators say it won't happen this year, either; just like the EPO constantly lies (both to the public and to its very own staff) Team UPC continues to lie to itself (self-delusion) and to us; both also routinely break the law, engage in deliberate violations of longstanding conventions, and scrap constitutions, which in turn becomes a breaking point for the EU's credibility and the legal profession
