In the words of Board 28 (screenshot with filter)

Summary: Still in denial (or self-deluding for self indulgence), Battistelli writes about the EPO as though everything is rosy and people are happy

The latest lies from Battistelli are basically more of the same. His name inside the EPO has become virtually synonymous with Pinocchio and he continues to live in his fantasy world, surrounded by "yes men" who are equally brainwashed, self-deluding or simply afraid of the boss with his infamous tantrums. Here is the PR/communication people linking to the latest nonsense from Battistelli's "blog" (warning: epo.org links may be spied on). We don't want to repeat too many of his lies, but when he speaks of "first ever Social Conference in the history" of the EPO he basically means first time that very expensive lies and propaganda were needed. How much does it cost to distort the truth and why are Battistelli's overseers allowing/tolerating this obvious case of waste and abuse (part of a broader pattern)?

We presume all of our readers already know what the "Social Conference" basically means. It's a pack of lies that Battistelli bought from some private companies so that he can pretend to have an 'independent' assessment. "But for the event itself," he says, "the true measure of success was the level of engagement by all. The number of requests to attend the conference far outstripped the number of places available and proceedings were followed online by thousands of our staff."

Haha, that's just rich!

"Whatever Battistelli does these days severely harms the reputation of the EPO; stakeholders are complaining."We can imagine that some people chose to watch this horrifying parade of lies, maybe in order to ridicule it or watch how they were lied about. SUEPO was blocked from entering and no input was accepted. It's like something out of the cookbook of North Korea's regime. A week later these paid-for lies are being pushed/trotted out, right there in the EPO's public Web site (while the actual documents are withheld internally). It's total hogwash like WIPO's hogwash just weeks ago.

Certainly, at this stage, Pinocchio Battistelli is just testing how long his nose can get before he's unable to enter the door of his office, possibly having been belatedly dismissed by the Administrative Council. Whatever Battistelli does these days severely harms the reputation of the EPO; stakeholders are complaining.

We have become accustomed to these lies, which are getting more and more Orwellian (even absurd) over time and target not just the public but also staff and journalists (since last year). Does the JPO not know that Battistelli has all these skeletons in his closet? Why did it post this tweet (soon to be retweeted by the EPO) saying "JPO Commissioner Komiya had meeting with EPO's President Battistelli and his colleagues"?

"No doubt a lot of money has been buried by Battistelli right there, if not just flushed down the toilet (or into the pockets of truly dodgy firms)."Battistelli (or Brexit) "will not be buried," this new comment says, but "the Social Conference, on the other hand, never having breathed a single breath, so how would it ever get so far as to be buried?"

No doubt a lot of money has been buried by Battistelli right there, if not just flushed down the toilet (or into the pockets of truly dodgy firms). ⬆
