Bonum Certa Men Certa

EPO Social Conference Another Example of Astronomical Waste of Money by Benoît Battistelli

'Buying' or paying for the 'truth' (exactly the opposite) is the latest stunt or modus operandi from this chronic liar

Battistelli liar Source (original): Rospatent



Summary: Having paid the media and attempted to scare/intimidate staff into silence (even among one another), Battistelli now pays some firms to lie for him and present the lies while staff representatives are blocked from entering the presentation

THE EPO is wasting money -- at the command of Benoît Battistelli -- on all sorts of controversial lobbying events (at times grooming fraudsters), PR agencies, private spy agencies, media "partners" (this means paid-for press coverage), and lots of horrible things that each in its own right should be a scandal. Battistelli is now faking 'facts' (for a fee), trying to make up an illusion of social harmony at the Office and then setting up a so-called 'Social Conference' by which to disseminate the lies [1, 2].



"Battistelli is an autocrat that nobody is permitted to criticise."How does Battistelli get to keep his job?

Well, look who 'oversees' him. Battistelli is an autocrat that nobody is permitted to criticise.

The EPO Social Conference "is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up our professional lives," said this one new comment. To quote the full thing:

A Social Undertakers Conference says...

My dear Eponians talk about it, rehash it, rethink it, cross analyze it, debate it, respond to it, get paranoid about it, compete with it, complain about it, immortalize it, cry over it, kick it, defame it, stalk it, gossip about it, pray over it, put it down or dissect its motives before it continues to rot in our brains. It is dead. It is over. It is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up our professional lives. Join me and bury it!


Repeating the lies yet again at the end of last week (second time), the EPO wrote: "Constructive discussion between staff and management about the future at the EPO Social Conference" (this links to the EPO's Web site again, same page as before -- a page that we already rebutted).

"Check the invoices from Battistelli. He paid a lot of money to keep the Dutch and German media under control."Where was the staff which this so-called conference was about? Staff was outside protesting in front of the building in Munich at the time. So much for 'social' and a 'conference'. It was more like a staff demonstration (photo below).

Where was the media at the time of the demonstration? Check the invoices from Battistelli. He paid a lot of money to keep the Dutch and German media under control. To be more precise and specific, he had the EPO pay a lot of money to cover up his own epic abuses.
