Is the EPO open to criticism?

No.

Does the EPO allow its own people to speak 'against' managers?

No.

Does the media get 'permission' to cover EPO scandals?

No.

So Bavaria has its own 'Moscow' now. It has diplomatic immunity and it's governed by cocaine addicts, not limited to Berenguer, who got caught not by EPO staff but by German police (because he was too arrogant and careless).

"As staff," an insider told us recently, "you cannot argue with Berenguer because you know he will take it personally, and since he is protected by Campinos and the whole Alicante mafia (as it is known internally), every criticism could prove costly. Staff also has realised over time that this organisation within an organisation not only is hiring people based on ties rather than reputation, they also negotiated higher salaries for themselves than usual. So a newly-hired Alicante mafia member gets paid more than senior staff that has been working at the Office for years but didn't have the luck to get hired by this particularly corrupt management."

The term "Alicante mafia" or just "Mafia" is used by many insiders. They silence people, even elected officials. Notice the part about "organisation within an organisation".

Has Europe's second-largest organisation become an infiltrated 'underground' with ties to the EU?

"Therefore," the insider continued, "Berenguer's own team feels powerless when facing him, as if they were in a legal vacuum (which is technically true since the EPO does not adhere to national labour laws), and they only have the choice to become yea-sayers or leave the department. This is the type of environment that this management has manifested, and senior communications staff works under even worse conditions than under Battistelli. You have to be thankful for a pat on the back, even if the same guy is raping you from behind."

Why won't any large publisher in Europe cover this? What does that say about the state of journalism in Europe? █

Wait, Did Palantir Just Make a Joke About Its CEO Doing Cocaine?

"If Karp is winkingly saying that he indulges in cocaine, he would only be the latest influential figure to partake in the stimulant. History is littered with noted politicians and oligarchs who were snorting the stuff behind the scenes. As recently as 2023, the Secret Service told reporters that they had found the substance in the White House, launching a lengthy investigation. Other online observers pointed out that wealthy business executives have little to fear from being prosecuted from consuming illegal drugs."
