Laurent Bigorgne is a French deep state operative. Despite having a lackluster academic performance, he was appointed — at age twenty-eight — director of studies at the super-elitist Sciences Po, and then at the deep state think tank Institut Montaigne. The Institute was central in the campaign to install Emmanuel Macron as President; Bigorgne is also a “longtime friend” of Macron. He participated in the 2015 Bilderberg meeting.

In February 2022, Bigorgne resigned after pleading guilty to secretly drugging a woman. The court accepted his excuse that this was not done for sexual motives.

Origins, youth and education

The son of a headmaster and a computer science teacher, Laurent Bigorgne was born on October 20, 1974 in Épinal, in the Vosges. He grew up in Meurthe-et-Moselle where his father was principal at the vocational high school in Pompey.[1][2]

A graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies (1996), which he joined through the University Center for Political Studies (CUEP) of the University Nancy-II with a parallel registration in DEUG of history (1992-1994), he obtained, after two failures, the aggregation of history in 1999. In parallel with his studies, he was active in the National Union of Students of France] – Independent and democratic(UNEF-ID), where he notably meets Bruno Julliard.[3][4][5]

He began a thesis “on a parliamentarian from the Third Republic ”, which was not finished.

Career

Having just been appointed the previous year to a high school in Nancy, he was recruited in 2000 by Richard Descoings to organize the development of the regional branches of the Sciences Po Paris, then became in 2004 — at age twenty-eight — director of studies at the school. He became the Descoings second-in-command in 2007, then was seconded for a year to the London School of Economics.[6]

On his return to France, in 2009, at the insistence of Claude Bébéar, he joined the Institut Montaigne as director of studies to assist the director, François Rachline — whom he replaced as soon as November 2010.

He is also president of the associations Agir pour l'école and Le Choix de l'école (formerly Teach for France)[7]. Le Figaro has revealed that three women denounced harassment from director Nadia Marik-Descoings. At the time, Bigorgne was vice-president of Teach for France.[8]

He is close to Emmanuel Macron, a “longtime friend”.[9] His partner, Véronique Bolhuis, initially appeared in the legal notices of the en-marche.fr site, the astroturfed party created for Macron, before being removed. He supported him in the 2017 presidential election, advises him on education, and appeared in hacked/leaked emails from Macron's campaign team.[10] Once elected, he was mentioned by some observers as a potential minister, without however being appointed to the government.[11]

According to Liberation, he has direct and permanent access to members of the government.[12]

In June 2018, he was appointed a member of the Public Action Committee 2022, created by Prime Minister Édouard Philippe to design the state reform project.

Drugging of woman

On February 25, 2022, Laurent Bigorgne was arrested by the Parisian judicial police and placed in police custody following a complaint from one of his collaborators at the Montaigne Institute and ex-sister-in-law[13]. The woman in her forties accuses Laurent Bigorgne of having drugged her without her knowledge during the evening of February 22. The complainant reported that the latter had consumed cocaine during the work meeting organized at the home of her boss, she also affirmed that he had gotten into the habit of sending her sexual messages. According to the complainant's toxicological expertise, she tested positive for MDMA, a synthetic drug from the amphetamine family also called ecstasy[14]. During police custody, he admitted to the facts of which he is accused. He disputed any sexual motivation from his act. His lawyers Sébastien Schapira and Jean Veil indicated that the investigation, which confirms the explanations of Laurent Bigorgne, is over.

He appeared on March 10, 2022 before the Paris Criminal Court for "administration of a harmful substance followed by incapacity not exceeding eight days by a person acting under the influence of narcotics" . His resignation as director was announced by the Institut Montaigne on February 27[15]. According to Mediapart, the inquiry, done in less than four days, “leaves many questions unanswered”[16]. Few witnesses were heard and the sexual motive was ruled out by the Paris prosecutor's office on the sole basis of the statements of the defendant. The complainant alleges pressure was exerted on the investigators.[17]
