Government of Germany Relays Talking Points Directly From the Mouths of EPO Management

Video download link



Summary: The German government seems unwilling and uninterested in tackling EPO abuses; judging by the responses, which are discussed above, it feels like the EPO speaks 'on behalf' of the government

THE EPO has barely changed for half a decade. Corruption carries on as usual, but the media (which in general is dying) does not write about it as much as it used to. So it may seem to a lot of people like António Campinos is a big improvement over Benoît Battistelli.



"The German authorities are hopelessly blind to corruption and one might therefore say that German authorities are complicit."The German authorities have been misled into this false notion that things are OK in EPOnia and everything is generally improving. It morever seems like the German government is nowadays just relaying talking points from EPO management. There's not even a sense of oversight, let alone someone in charge of such oversight.

The video above goes through some translations of exchanges, some from 2015 and some from last year. The German authorities are hopelessly blind to corruption and one might therefore say that German authorities are complicit. There's a financial incentive to play along. This is the subject of an ongoing series, with the latest part published hours ago (it's the one about the texts above).
