Summary: A year-old video of the EPO's kakistocrat in chief shows potentially offensive language difficulties (the videos are unaltered; must be seen to be believed!)

EARLIER this month something exceptionally bad happened because the self-described "Mr. Nice Guy" became outwardly rude and vulgar. He clearly violated the Code of Conduct of the Office (no worries! He's immune!) and no longer attacked people just "politely" (like plundering staff using official paperwork... like a boss).



It's no secret that EPO President António Campinos speaks several languages (though he did try to conceal his dual nationality), but his English leaves much to be desired. And sure, he also does not speak German, unlike his staff, and he's working in Germany. It's just another Benoît Battistelli. He's a misfit professionally, too. There's a gross lack of experience and qualifications.

"There’s a gross lack of experience and qualifications."Recently Campinos was throwing "f bombs" at staff, so the above talk he gave one year ago (Invidious instance) is kind of interesting. Here are a couple of examples in isolation (he does this at 18:20 and again at 19:54):



But Tony, we hardly even know each other!!

A minute and a half later:



Mind you, this is scripted. He could audition and/or redo it. But he did not. Twice.

"The EPO has an image/reputation problem because of kakistocrats, not because of the staff union."This kakistocrat does a very poor job representing not just the EPO but also Europe. He's very mechanical as he speaks and he moves his hands all over the place.

What's seen above is part of a generally lousy talk. Much remains to be said about it. After that he is promoting European software patents under the guise of "Hey Hi" (AI), as usual, as we saw before. He also promotes illegal, unconstitutional "ViCo".

The EPO has an image/reputation problem because of kakistocrats, not because of the staff union.
