Bonum Certa Men Certa

There's No F***ing Debate With “the F***ing President” (What António Campinos Calls Himself!)

António Campinos keeps 'f***ing with his staff' (slang) without asking for consent

CSC, SUEPO, and ILOAT
The CSC, SUEPO, and ILOAT have been calling out and specifying the illegal agenda



Summary: The EPO's in-house criminal António Campinos (trying to 'finish the job' of Benoît Battistelli, a Corsican with quasi-Nazi family connections) is only pretending to speak to elected (actually elected, unlike himself) staff representatives; the substance of the issues is described in 3 long documents

The EPO's Central Staff Committee (CSC) has just circulated a bunch of long documents with images in-line.



The main document being circulated [PDF] is a "[r]eport on the GCC meeting of 5 July 2022: Fixed-term appointments & "Bringing Teams Together"," and "[t]here were three documents on the official agenda." That's a lot of text. Just reading the thing properly can take hours, never mind discussing it.

"Once again, the "fucking president" (that's what he is calling himself) is leaving far too little time for actual discussion.""The President had scheduled one hour for the meeting," the CSC notes, "although two of the documents on the agenda were clearly of very great importance:

- Circular 405: Extension & Conversion of fixed-term appointments (GCC/DOC 12/2022) - “Bringing Teams Together” (GCC/DOC 13/2022)"

We're talking about 28 pages of text here (the report anyway)! Just "one hour for the meeting"? What is this, comedy???

"Campinos is just a 'tourist' at the EPO, plundering the organisation and shielding prior plunderers.""We sent a written and reasoned opinion to the President on both documents," the CSC noted, adding its opinion on GCC/DOC 12/2022 [PDF] and on GCC/DOC 13/2022. [PDF]

Once again, the "fucking president" (that's what he is calling himself) is leaving far too little time for actual discussion. He just wants to pretend there's some dialogue and he'll ignore all the input from people who actually know the EPO. Campinos is just a 'tourist' at the EPO, plundering the organisation and shielding prior plunderers.

Now that Campinos bought his second term he no longer feels the need to even pretend that he's seriously engaging with staff.
