ER Editor: This time, a well-known centre-right Catholic politician was found dead on Monday, Olivier Marleix, noteworthy for having criticized Macron on some very key issues, such as the sale of French firm Alstom to US giant General Electric back in the day. Marleix was about to publish a book on this very subject, and the subsequent kickbacks Macron received as a future presidential candidate.
This follows on from the high-profile death of former military intelligence officer in June, Éric Denécé, who was also similarly critical of the French government from a geopolitical and economic standpoint. Suicide in both cases, of course.

We published on Denécé, noting other recent deaths of domestic French intelligence officers – 3 in 5 months, found dead in a carpark, as well as the recent death of healthy retired military officer, General Dominic Delawarde. See —
Former French intelligence officer Éric Denécé found dead – not a suicide according to relatives
A reminder that the original Macron looks nothing like the later ones. We hope these apparently deceased people are in witness protection. Stranger things have been known. At any rate, the French are getting a wake-up over some of their recent history, as well as a taste of how their government has operated in the past.

Another Macron critic found dead in France
The body of Olivier Marleix, a French conservative lawmaker, has been found at home in a suspected suicide
RT
A senior French lawmaker known for his staunch criticism of President Emmanuel Macron has been found dead at his home in what authorities say was a suicide.
Olivier Marleix, a 54-year-old MP with the conservative Les Republicains party and longtime member of the National Assembly, was discovered hanged in an upstairs room at his residence in Anet, Eure-et-Loir, on Monday afternoon, according to the local prosecutor.
“At this stage, the involvement of a third party can be ruled out, making suicide the most likely cause,” public prosecutor Frederic Chevallier told AFP. An autopsy was reportedly scheduled for July 9.
Marleix, a longtime MP and former leader of the Les Republicains group in parliament, played a central role in inquiries into France’s industrial policy. He repeatedly accused Macron of mishandling the 2014 sale of French firm Alstom’s energy arm – a key supplier of turbines for nuclear plants – to US giant General Electric.
He also argued that Macron – then deputy secretary-general at the Elysee Palace – had overridden his superior at the time, Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg, and later approved the controversial sale without proper oversight. In a letter to the prosecutor at the time, Marleix denounced what he described as a “corruption pact,” claiming that individuals with financial stakes in deals involving Alstom, Alcatel, Technip, and STX, later appeared as donors or organizers for Macron’s 2017 presidential campaign. Although the judiciary dismissed the accusations, Marleix continued to speak out publicly.
The son of former minister Alain Marleix, he was a vocal opponent of any alliance with the right-wing National Rally party (RN), despite narrowly retaining his seat in 2024 in a runoff against an RN candidate.
It follows another recent high-profile death that has stirred public speculation in France. On June 29, a 58-year-old plastic surgeon linked to Macron’s wife, Brigitte, was found dead after falling from a window in Paris. Medical examiners declared that Francois Fevre, who had reportedly promised to reveal details about alleged gender-related surgeries involving the First Lady, committed suicide. His sister disputed the finding, suggesting his death may have been connected to the interview he was due to give. The Macrons have faced persistent speculation over Brigitte’s gender – claims they have repeatedly denied and taken legal action against. (ER: There seems to be some doubt about this story.)
News of Marleix’s death drew swift reactions across the political spectrum. In a statement, Macron called him “an experienced politician” and said he respected their differences, as they stemmed from a “shared love” for the country.

Olivier Marleix was about to publish “Dissolution française”. Eric Denécé investigated Alstom. Macron regains his power
Two deaths. One scandal. And a president who is “regaining his power”. Olivier Marleix and Éric Denécé, both involved in the Alstom affair, disappeared within weeks of each other. Suicide? Coincidence?
LE MEDIA EN 4-4-2
Oh, what a wonderful time for Macronie, this enchanted kingdom where fierce opponents magically vanish, leaving Emmanuel Macron’s throne to shine with an almost supernatural radiance!
No sooner had the LR MP Olivier Marleix, the man who prevents us from going round in circles, decided to put an end to his life – a well-timed “suicide”, bad tongues will say – than the press, in a burst of enthusiasm, headlined in chorus: “Emmanuel Macron regains his power to dissolve and tries to avoid disappearance” (Le Figaro, July 8, 2025). Perfect timing, don’t you think? It’s almost like a well-orchestrated comedy, with the curtains falling at just the right moment.
Marleix, that stubborn Gaullist, wasn’t just anyone. He had the nerve to delve into the golden garbage cans of the Macronie era, notably the Alstom affair, that industrial jewel sold off to General Electric in 2014 under the benevolent eye of Macron, then Minister of the Economy. With his book Dissolution française : la fin du macronisme, due out in November 2025, Olivier Marleix was about to throw a spanner in the works. Revelations about the sale of Alstom? On a possible “corruption pact”, as he had already suggested in 2019? We’ll never know. The manuscript, “well advanced” according to Le Parisien, is likely to sleep quietly in a drawer at Robert Laffont, far from prying eyes.

Then there’s Éric Denécé, another troublemaker and former DGSI officer, who died on June 11, 2025 in equally “troubling” circumstances. He, too, had a keen interest in Alstom, the saga in which Patrick Kron, ex-CEO of the group and of the community of enlightenment, sold the energy branch to GE, while Frédéric Pierucci, an Alstom executive, languished in an American prison for corruption – his real fault? Being too patriotic. He refused to betray France. Arnaud Montebourg (a former French minister) denounced the economic blackmail as treason. Denécé, like Marleix, pointed the finger at the grey areas of this operation, where Macron played the conductor. Two suicides in one month, two critical voices silenced. Coincidence? Macronie must have a premium subscription to luck.
While the troublemakers fade away, Macron, like a Phoenix in a three-piece suit, rises from the ashes, ready to “avoid disappearance”. What resilience!
Alstom, the original sin of Macronie
ER: A reminder that Macron, likely a Rothschild relative, just showed up in the government of Francois Hollande out of nowhere in the 2010’s and took charge, getting a couple of major bills passed that would force changes to laws governing the employment landscape. Hollande would later claim that he was powerless against Macron’s entry. Macron then started a new party, En Marche, and became president in 2017.
Let’s return to Alstom, that masterpiece of Macronian economic diplomacy. In 2014, Montebourg, then Minister, learned of the sale from a Bloomberg dispatch, bypassed by the Élysée, where Macron officiated as Deputy Secretary General. Marleix, heading a commission of inquiry in 2018, denounced a “torrent of money” poured into planet finance: 500 million euros in fees for bankers and lawyers, some of whom, oh surprise, were among En Marche’s donors in 2017. Pierucci, for his part, spoke of an “American trap”, where his arrest was used to bend France. But that’s all in the past. Why stir up mud when Macronie is shining again?
Evil tongues will say that Macron’s France resembles an episode of House of Cards, where opponents drop like flies and embarrassing files evaporate. But let’s be serious: Macronie doesn’t need to invent conspiracies. It has a talent for letting things take care of themselves.
Marleix ? Denécé? Just collateral damage in the triumphal march of a president who, according to Le Monde (December 1, 2024), had lost track of his mandate after the dissolution of 2024. Just goes to show, a little patience – and a few well-placed “suicides” – is all it takes to regain the light.
So, let’s raise our glasses to Macronie, that wonderland where opponents self-dissolve, dangerous books never see the light of day, and the president, like a magician, makes problems disappear with a snap of his fingers. Alstom? What Alstom? Move along, there’s nothing to see.
