[Meme] No Diplomatic Immunity for Alex Kipman

In EPOnia, the concept of accountability does not exist!

LOL! My kind of guy, but he did not have diplomatic immunity.

The social tensions at the EPO led to an unprecedented outburst of anger of president António Campinos last month. In a meeting on 26 April 2022, described as ‘abysmal’ by the CSC, he reportedly ‘used foul language throughout (…) and insulted most of the speakers. The CSC members were not just interrupted but prevented from speaking multiple times (…)’ up to a point where the EPO president told CSC members: ‘You will never have such a nice person being the f***ing President for the next fifty f***ing years. So you wake up and make agreements with me, or you never will for your f***ing life.’

EPO to staff: No deal for you!!

Summary: As we've just noted, the EPO has another scandal in its hands (2018, the Benoît Battistelli-António Campinos handover year) and it involves Microsoft; unlike Campinos, who can break all the rules and remain in power, Alex Kipman had to step down
