Summary: The role of Greece in the appalling governance of the EPO is the focus of today's article and video

There's this decade-old stigma of Greece as a country in deep financial crisis (in the context of austerity, EU membership, profound national debt, and brain drain) and a few months ago we mentioned Greek judge Evangelos Chatzikos helping the EPO break the law for reasons the EPO specified yesterday morning. It's not helping the image of the country when it also becomes a "Trojan horse" for unlawful proposals of Benoît Battistelli, misuse of EPO budget, and kangaroo courts of António Campinos. The video above discusses Part 26, which we published this morning.



The original plan was to publish every single day until October 31st (Part 28), but we're now foreseeing at least 35 parts in total, so bear with us for another week. We have a few other important series (about Microsoft and the NSA) in store, but EPO is definitely a priority at the moment.
