In September 2020, Altermind experts had preached the good word (the merger is bad) in the media. Intelligence Online had identified a few: Olivier Babeau, Olivier de Maison Rouge, Bruno Alomar.

ALTERMIND continues its support for SUEZ, which has just posted a 10-page summary of a report prepared by Patrice Geoffron, a professor at Paris Dauphine University, dated February 2021.

Of course, the good word is already relayed by media accustomed to the speech of the boss of Altermind, Mathieu Laine and his partner Erwan Le Noan. Example with Les Echos.

Opinion | The Suez-Veolia merger: a speculative sacrifice

The two main arguments against the operation developed by ALTERMIND make you smile.

First argument raised, being too big is bad.

Altermind had worked and maneuvered under the leadership of Alexandre Bompard with the Competition Authority for it to authorize the merger of FNAC with DARTY in July 2016.

For FNAC DARTY, too much was not bad.

The argument is therefore dazzlingly logical for Altermind.

We can recall the links with Altermind: a Vice President Emmanuel Combe who published a study for Altermind in June 2018, a President at the time of the merger Bruno Lasserre nicely qualified in January 2016 by Mathieu Laine in his book Dictionary in love with the freedom of "commander in the order of divine competition" (do not throw any more); the same Bruno Lasserre came in person to seek an award, a dedication in bookstores shortly after the book came out; without forgetting the partner Erwan Le Noan who was a rapporteur for the Competition Authority.

Between people of good company we manage to get along, don't we?

Small aside, one day investigative journalists will have to take a serious look at the Competition Authority: its independence, its rules, respect for its rules, the content of its decisions.

This control authority has a storefront, but the street does not have its entrances.

Second argument raised, it's bad for the environment.

Green altermind? Greta Thunberg must be bent over laughing. You will easily find what Mathieu Laine thinks of the Swedish girl.

Ecology for Altermind, it is its customers who would speak about it best: Syngenta, Total, Airbnb, Autostrade, Atlantia, Amazon, Aéroport de Paris.

A liberal is often for deregulation, the most relevant tool to fight against global warming?

What a brilliant second argument from Altermind.

ALTERMIND therefore plays the role of Swiss army knife on behalf of SUEZ.

Luxembourg knife in fact.

Because the parent company of the French company is based in Luxembourg while its main shareholder, Mathieu Laine is tax resident in London, for activities mainly located in France.

Decoders of the World, in their OPENLUX survey, certainly spotted the situation.

OpenLux: the insatiable appetite of the French for Luxembourg companies

Moreover, it is not in London that Mathieu Laine did the promotion in January 2021 of his latest book INFANTIZATION but in Paris.

It has multiplied in the complacent media: Le Figaro (twice, with Judith Waintraub then David Abiker), Le Journal du Dimanche, Le Point, Europe 1, France 5 (C à Vous), Les Echos (with his friend Daniel Fortin), Atlantico (of which he is a shareholder), Ouest France, LCI, France Inter, Elle, France Info. The list is not complete.

In flesh and blood for radios and televisions. Obviously promoting his book is a recognized compelling reason in these times of COVID.

We can also bet that the one who was called "Marquis de Macron" by the columnist of L'Humanité Maurice Ulrich will know how to send the right signals on Telegram.

February 6, 2019. The essayist Mathieu Laine, always surpasses himself. He dares everything and that's even how we recognize him.

It is all the same daring to put out a book to denounce the infantilization while wanting to make us swallow that we must not merge Suez and Veolia because it is bad for the planet.

Long live freedom of expression!

ALTERMIND, in French, it gives PENSER AUTREMENT.

With such procedures, the company could also have called itself ALTERKIND: to be nice (to its customers) otherwise.

CASH INVESTIGATION and Mathieu Laine, quite a story

It is also quite naturally that Mathieu Laine had made in 2016 the promotion of his favorite show, CASH INVESTIGATION, following the show which precisely took care of Luxembourg.

In the program of April 6, 2016 devoted to the Panama Papers, Élise Lucet set out in pursuit of the Baroness of Ariane de Rothschild, patron of the Private Bank Edmond de Rothschild, to question her about the actions of Marc Ambroisien.


An audio recording showed how Marc Ambroisien, then CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Europe, had facilitated the authorization to accept hundreds of millions of euros brought by Khadem Al Qubaisi, a national of Abu Dhabi, indicted by the American justice in the scandal of the century 1MDB of funds embezzled at the expense of Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund.

Mathieu Laine loved this show by publishing in the wake, on April 21, 2016, a rave article in his favorite cabbage leaf, Le Point: Mathieu Laine - Motion of defiance to the anti-liberal solicitation of "Cash investigation".


What a happy coincidence. An approach on its own account or on behalf of a close client or a close client?

ALTERKIND, to be of service otherwise.

In April 2020, Marc Ambroisien was banned from practicing for 10 years by the CSSF, the Luxembourg Financial Sector Supervisory Commission. Like what the report of CASH INVESTIGATION had aimed right. Without this program, it was Les Echos who would have unearthed the case, or L'Opinion?


Mathieu Laine, infantilize us then, take our hand to tell us which emissions we must avoid so as not to harm our liberal health.

Clarification: Regarding the merger between Véolia and Suez, I am rather unfavorable to this operation. This does not prevent alerting on the methods of lobbying firms that are paid to prevent the operation.
