EPO Consolidating Around Lies

THE official Web site of SUEPO has published (probably some time last night, hard to tell for sure) a pair of links as shown above in the videos's "poster" (that's the technical term for it). It's a couple of links that show what industry thinking and how the EPO 'responds' to that, albeit behind a paywall, using its favourite and very loyal mouthpiece.
"The Unified Patent Court is envisioned as an EU system; if EU/EC officials fail to take meaningful action against mismanagement or maladministration at the EPO, the EU too will suffer or even perish."ManagingIP's Rory O’Neill has, for a change, given a voice to EPO sceptics and critics, throwing in quotes like: "The EPO focused too much on internal efficiency and speed of grant at the expense of thorough search and examination, he said."
That's nothing to do with "efficiency"! That's just a misleading euphemism.
IAM the mouthpiece of EPO autocrats has meanwhile published copy-paste of (or platform for) abusive EPO management, which obviously secures terms by breaking the rules, then lying about the European Patent Convention to make it seem like corrupt things are justified and the illegal is somehow lawful. With the Unified Patent Court they moreover violate conventions and constitutions. The Unified Patent Court is envisioned as an EU system; if EU/EC officials fail to take meaningful action against mismanagement or maladministration at the EPO, the EU too will suffer or even perish. Its own reputation depends heavily not just on the EUIPO (full of scandals also; many EPO officials came from there owing to unbridled nepotism) but also the EPO. ⬆
