Today there is an EPO strike. The organisers of this strike cannot speak about the elephant in the room: drugs and abuse of illegal substances by EPO management. The strike, instead, focuses on financial aspects. We'll write a lot about that soon.

"To generate some additional internal pressure on Campinos," an insider recently told us, "you and said colleagues could reach out to SUEPO, and individually to some of Berenguer's closest co-workers, most of them loyalists, with your inquiries..."

So we did. We contacted Ana Harda (Alicante Mafia) on aharda@epo.org, Sophie Gayout-Faugeroux on sgayoutfaugeroux@epo.org, and Harald Pichlhoefer on hpichlhoefer@epo.org.

Well, the mail to Sophie Gayout-Faugeroux bounced, but this is not necessarily an indication she left after the scandal had begun.

For Sophie Gayout-Faugeroux, we later learned, the E-mail sgayout@epo.org should be valid. "Her name is still on the list of active employees so there is no sign there that she has left."

Did Berenguer's closest co-workers reply? No.

So we also contacted Andrea Vesely on avesely@epo.org, Saskia Jilge on sjilge@epo.org, and Antonio Macchia (Alicante Mafia) on amacchia@epo.org.

In the next series we'll name some more members of the "Alicante Mafia" (the term that EPO insiders use to refer to them).

The press department can be contacted via press@epo.org (dominated by the Alicante Mafia for years already) but preferably individually^* it can be reached via Jana Kotalik on jkotalik@epo.org, Lucia Sixto on lsixto@epo.org, and Mary Kennedy on mkennedy@epo.org.

We contacted all of them individually.

Total silence.

Nobody wanted to talk about cocaine at the EPO. █

Hi,

I am writing to your on behalf of techrights.org.

I wish to give an opportunity to respond to an upcoming publication. Please regard this as a Right to Reply (Right of reply).

How long have you known about Berenguer's addiction to cocaine and why has nobody in the Office reported this to Mr. Campinos?
