Only a vain elitist would be capable of defending ones like Battistelli and considering the new ownership of Les Echos, it all seems to make sense. It is amazing that he gets to keep his job (for now) after all these scandals at the EPO, including him breaking laws and his refusal to obey court rulings against him. We are once again seeing Les Echos carrying water for Battistelli.īattistelli is undoubtedly an amazing president. When Les Echos covers the EPO it involves defending the EPO from perceived critics like a judge who said the truth about Željko Topić. It didn’t refuse to cover some important stories, such as this scoop about Microsoft lobbying French politicians for OOXML. L es Echos is not an entirely terrible newspaper, or at least it wasn’t always the case (ownership has changed).
