Team Battistelli Snubbed by the EPO's Representatives of Nations

Summary: Battistelli's popularity sinks to levels so low that chairs are no longer shy to turn him down

YESTERDAY we wrote about the EPO's latest brewing scandal in Haar. EPO management adds insult to injury. It wants to 'grease up' delegates just before their next meeting.



We understand that a letter was sent by the Board of Appeals PR (on behalf of Team Battistelli) for chairs/heads of delegation (or similar) to come to Haar and metaphorically piss on the graves. The details are still a little vague, e.g. who exactly was sent an invitation.

"One chair has said he would accept the invitation," a source has since told us. "Others have expressed their disapproval."

"They might need to just call that off, as embarrassing for Battistelli as this may be (especially if the public finds out).""Seems people think up to three might attend."

We shall soon know more.

What kind of party would that be? They might need to just call that off, as embarrassing for Battistelli as this may be (especially if the public finds out). He can go to Haar on his own; he can even admit himself to an institution there.

Stay tuned as we gather more information. We still hope that someone can leak the letter to us (if there are many recipients, it would be hard to know who leaked the text).
