Summary: In the video above I go through the document explaining “internal” EPO scandals (directed towards staff) and there’s still time to contact European politicians and media; there’s no valid excuse for turning a blind eye
EARLIER today we said that EPO staff would protest in front of EPO buildings just 8 days from now.
Given the pandemic and several other factors, it’s difficult to expect it to be the biggest EPO protest ever. Benoît Battistelli had managed to bring the staff closer together (united by scorn for his crimes) and António Campinos was fortunate that just over a year after his term’s commencement there was a pandemic, keeping staff physically apart (for over 2 years already). He would later exploit the pandemic to also wage a war on courts, or on access to justice. Due process is not prioritised by those who break the law; they love kangaroo courts and they’re in no rush to comply with court orders issued by judges not controlled by them.
“If you live in Europe, please consider contacting a local politician (like MEP) and the national press. These scandals merit national and international attention. Failing to even mention them is a form of complicity by selective apathy.”Campinos is already proving he’s no better than Battistelli in the sense that he’s willing to bribe and interfere in voting. He and Battistelli already did this over a decade ago in their 'crusade' for power; it’s a sad tragedy that no national broadcasters have bothered investigating this. If Europe’s second-largest institution has become a den of corruption, we should at least expect the ombudsman to look into it (or Europe’s largest institution, the EU). But it’s simply not happening and the EPO crafted its own fake ombudsman. If you live in Europe, please consider contacting a local politician (like MEP) and the national press. These scandals merit national and international attention. Failing to even mention them is a form of complicity by selective apathy. █
