It Almost Feels Like Battistelli Still Runs the EPO (by Extension/Proxy)

Summary: The "Mafia" that destroyed the EPO is still being put in charge and is using the EPO for shameless self-promotion; it is never being held accountable, not even when courts demand remediatory action and staff seeks reparations

AN anonymous source told us and showed us that the EPO's staff union is planning action to compel António Campinos to obey courts and hold Benoît Battistelli et al accountable for their abuses, which remain untackled. Can a law school be managed by a criminal? Welcome to France, the true home of Campinos! Endless harm continues to be caused by Battistelli's associates and right now the EPO's Web site, in its latest "news" item, is boosting Battistelli's CEIPI (Campinos and Battistelli swapped seats) as if the EPO is still being run for or by this guy from the shadows. Towards the end of the video we also show the overlapping agenda.



The EPO cannot move on until it handles or repairs the past. Shutting tightly a closet with skeletons (while occasionally adding yet more skeletons to it) is assurance that when the bubble implodes it will be truly devastating. It's like a pressure cooker. Nothing at all has been resolved. Campinos has repeatedly shown that he's incapable of doing so and he's still being sort of 'bossed' by the fits of Team Battistelli. This is terrible, but what's even more terrible is the grotesque silence in the media, in effect enabling the crimes and becoming passively complicit.
