More Fire Power for Team Battistelli With New Promotion of French Lady

Nadja Merdaci-LefèvreSummary: Nadja Merdaci-Lefèvre, with military background (trendy skill at the EPO right now), officially becomes an EPO Director



THE trend at the Team Battistelli-led EPO never ceases to amaze. An appointment from military to top EPO rank was only mentioned here earlier today (there are also lower level examples and peripheral examples, but we deal only with public officials as their exposure to the press is subjected to other levels of ethics).



The Incredible Rise of Nadja



According to our sources, Nadja Merdaci-Lefèvre has been has promoted. This ex military person has just been promoted to EPO Director. That is a very high rand. For a little background on this amazing race to the top of Team Battistelli see:

  1. EPO's Team Battistelli is Promoting Only the Oppressors
  2. EPO: It's Like a Family Business - Part IV
  3. The EPO’s Investigative Unit Exposed: Part VII


"More people with a military background make rocket careers at the EPO," told us one person. "Nadja Lefèvre (born Merdaci) was promoted to DIRECTOR at the EPO with effective date 01.01.2016. This appeared today on the EPO intranet site."

"It's rather interesting to see the predominantly French Team Battistelli bolstering/empowering itself."We already knew this a while ago, but staff gets notified a little later, maybe to in order reduce backlash.

"She appeared on Techrights before," our source noted, "as part of the Inner Circle 2.0."

It's rather interesting to see the predominantly French Team Battistelli bolstering/empowering itself. It's a clique. Sometimes it's literally a family. It's not just Bergot anymore (we know some embarrassing stories about her that we cannot publish, at least not yet).

Surge of EPO Whistleblowers



It sure seems like a lot more EPO staff and also outsiders, including stakeholders, are fed up with Team Battistelli. They want immediate change. We received some encouraging words and wishes for quick recovery (my wife and I are still ill). "Keep up the good work," one person told us, maybe one among a dozen today (thanks!). If it weren't for our sources, however, none of this would be possible, so please keep us informed. The intranet page about Merdaci-Lefèvre's would be nice to have here for the record if anyone could kindly leak it to us...

"The intranet page about Merdaci-Lefèvre's would be nice to have here for the record if anyone could kindly leak it to us..."It is going to be a very long night as we have been receiving a lot of new material today. "Dear Mr. Roy Schestowitz," wrote one person to me, "I have definitely found this article very interesting (thought in French): http://www.agoravox.fr/tribune-libre/article/de-quoi-le-conflit-social-a-l-175546

"It might explain indeed the current crisis at the EPO. I am not sure it is known in the IP world. I guess you might feel interested in having it appearing on Techrights."

Someone already works on translating it for us. It's work in progress as it's a long article and one that is exceptionally difficult to translate. In the mean time, if anyone has the time, please keep an eye on the next few articles. We need some translations from Dutch, so native Dutch speakers are needed (for accuracy, automated translations are not sufficiently reliable).
