BRI-SP: The main characters

Part 4: If you thought this was about Brigitte only, think again

In contrast to Hollywood scripts, real life does not limit itself to only a few characters, but has relations spread out to dozens, as we all experience in our lives. This fact makes biographies generally quite complex, as our lives are influenced by and deal with many different relationships, which change and multiply over time.
The central claims of the Brigitte scandal deal with the following persons:

• The Trogneux family: a known bourgeois family of Amiens (northern France), according to the myth “since 6 generations selling chocolates”, while in reality the vaunted ancestors, as well as Jean Trogneux himself, were pastry chefs. It was only after WWII, when Jean Trogneux bought La Maison des Baptèmes, a confiseur specialised in ‘dragées’ (chocolate/sugar-coated almonds traditionally given to friends and relatives at the occasion of newborns/baptisms), that the present-day chain of chocolate shops called Jean Trogneux started.
  Brigitte’s parental family is said to have the following members:

  • Jean Trogneux, father

  • Simone Pujol, mother

  • Anne-Marie (“Annie”) Boulogne-Trogneux, oldest sister, born in 1932

  • Jean-Claude Trogneux, oldest brother, born in 1933, whose grandson Jean-Baptiste is presently the head of the Jean Trogneux chocolate business, and who remarried with a woman called Brigitte, which creates confusion as through her marriage she became “Brigitte Trogneux”

  • Maryvonne Farcy-Trogneux, second sister, born in 1937, who died in a car accident at 23, leaving behind a 5-month old baby

  • Monique Gueudet-Trogneux, third sister, born in 1941

  • Jean-Michel Trogneux, now Brigitte Macron, born in 1945, the one sibling that the Brigitte Macron biographical pieces never mentioned, and who was not listed on the “Trogneux Family” wikipedia page (it’s remarkable this family had its own page, which is now deleted) nor genealogy sites, which suddenly started adding in this extra child after the theory became public: until his name is mentioned in Sylvie Bommel’s second book, published in 2019, it was as if he simply didn’t exist

  • Brigitte Auzière-Trogneux, born in 1953, present state or whereabouts unknown as Jean-Michel has taken on her identity, her past is kept under wraps as if it were a state secret: all requests for school pictures have been simply refused, even though they should be publicly available according to the law, and the FB page in this name has been deleted
    

• André Auzière, born in 1951, in Cameroon (then a French colony): first husband of Brigitte Trogneux, visible on the marriage picture which depicts the real Brigitte Trogneux who is not Brigitte Macron according to facial recognition software.
  His life, allegedly as a banker, has been wiped more or less off the internet, he is said to have died in 2019, but his youngest daughter, Tiphaine, who made this fact public, reported the day of his passing as the day of his burial – while he was also not buried, but cremated.
  The obituary announcement had a large picture of this man on the beach in nothing but swim shorts (see the end of Part 6). It was claimed all other pictures were destroyed. Recently, Laurence and Tiphaine released two new pictures of themselves as very small kids with their father André, but once more with their mother conspicuously absent.
  There were also claims that before his death, he was locked away in a psychiatric institution and guarded by Alexandre Benalla, Macron’s former deputy chief-of-staff with an extremely problematic past. But according to Jean-Louis Auzière (see below), interviewed by Emmanuelle Anizon, André’s lady-friend claims to have found proof in Andre’s belongings that he was on the brink of fleeing the country and go live in Africa, where he was born. On the other hand, Jean-Louis Auzière also said that he himself was born in 1942, and André one year earlier, in 1941, ten whole years before his actual birth!
  The complete, unreal absence of any trace of his existence is very alarming, and the consequent mystery surrounding him gives credibility to the conclusions of Natacha Rey and Pressibus that he simply is a fictitious person who never really existed, even though this conclusion is not the only possibility nor even the most likely one. Until recently, the only picture available online claiming to be André Auzière, was a picture of one of her former colleagues. A documentary even showed a picture of a random citizen of the same municipality when talking about Brigitte’s former husband.
  It is not even clear which name he used during his life: most people write about him as “André-Louis Auzière”, while apparently his first name was only André and Louis his middle name. Emmanuelle Anizon reports that his former colleagues call him “Dédé”.
  Xavier Poussard was able to find some traces of André Auzière’s professional career in banking, but they contradict names and times claimed by Brigitte and Tiphaine. Pressibus traced back the career of André’s father, Louis Auzière, who was a colonial officer and very probably in the secret service. This past (particularly the Algeria connection) could provide a link between the Auzières and the Trogneux, as the other 3 Trogneux daughters were all married to sons of very successful business owners of Amiens.
  

• Sébastien Auzière, born in 1975, Laurence Jourdan-Auzière, born in 1977, and Tiphaine Auzière, born in 1984: the notorious children claimed to have been birthed by Brigitte Macron.
  While Sébastien and Laurence are not so much in the picture, it seems to have been Tiphaine’s task to defend Brigitte Macron and her story, even though she isn’t doing a great job at it.
  

• Jean-Louis Auzière, born in 1943, an uncle of André-Louis Auzière, but since he was a surprise baby born 26 years after his older brother Louis (father of André Auzière) he is in fact of the generation of his nephew André.
  His middle name is André, and it is claimed he used that name more than his real name, creating possible confusion with his nephew André whose middle name is Louis.
  Natacha Rey will therefore jump to conclusions and claim that both these people are one and the same, aided by the absence of about any proof of André-Louis’ existence. She therefore also made the wild claim that his wife, Catherine Auzière-Audoy, born in 1944, would be the biological mother of the three children Brigitte Macron claims to have. This makes no sense, as Catherine is his second wife and they only married in 2003. Jean-Louis was first married to Susan Spray, in 1966, and with whom he has two children.
  Catherine for her part makes life more complicated by posting her artwork on facebook, which includes children’s portraits that seem to be clearly the alleged children of Brigitte Macron and their children. Catherine admits something similar by commenting that the children are “family, but not related to me”, indicating they are relatives of her husband. Her posted works also express two very distinct styles that suggest such different levels of technical expertise that there is speculation whether she’s posting two different person’s artwork.
  

• Véronique de la Simone-Dreux, formerly Véronique Trogneux-Dreux, born in 1952: the former wife of Jean-Michel Trogneux, and mother of his two children. They were married in 1980, in a village a bit outside Amiens, where the ‘company’ that Jean-Michel was supposedly the manager of was established. The wedding took place “in the strictest privacy”, and was only summarily announced afterwards. Somehow this was not the big event to celebrate Jean-Michel finding the love of his life, or a fruitful alliance between the Trogneux family and a child of a rich entrepreneur Rotary friend of Jean Trogneux, as were the other Trogneux marriages. This was the second marriage for Véronique. Again, it didn’t last long: they divorced in 1987, and Véronique remarried a third time.
  The couple apparently moved to Beauvais, where, few months into her marriage, Véronique starts a franchise of the La Maison des Baptèmes enterprise in Beauvais, called Tentations. This outlet of the Jean Trogneux brand was fully financed by Jean-Michel’s parents, and even opened a second shop in the same city. The shops were closed when Jean-Michel and Véronique divorced in 1987.
  Xavier Poussard has had a phone conversation with her, in which she ended up volunteering the information that “Brigitte told me not to get involved”, and that she knew Emmanuel Macron’s father but not Emmanuel himself early on. This of course is weird, because why would she have any connection to Macron’s father but not himself. Officially, Brigitte was Véronique’s sister-in-law, who started a relationship with Emmanuel when he was 14 years old. Véronique might thus have heard about this relationship and known about Emmanuel, but why would she know who his father was? Xavier reports that when she spoke about this, there was a voice in the background who interfered, and Véronique asked Xavier’s name and then broke off the call. Noteworthy is that Emmanuel Macron’s mother has admitted that she knew Brigitte since long before her romance with Emmanuel started, and that she is her best friend (see below). If Brigitte Macron is Jean-Michel, then of course Véronique must also have met the Macrons during her marriage to Jean-Michel.
  Véronique also mentions that after the short marriage, she went back to Amiens to live with her mother, while in reality, the property in Amiens where she was registered as living after the divorce, belonged to the Trogneux family.
  Xavier Poussard also points out that there are two official documents that mention her marriage to Alain l’Elue de la Simone as her first marriage, which is simply false: it is her third.
  Like with Jean-Michel, nothing of this part of the Trogneux family or their business’s history is ever mentioned in the official mythology around Brigitte Macron or the Jean Trogneux brand.
  

• Jean-Jacques Trogneux, born in 1982, and Valérie Limpens-Trogneux, born in 1984: the two children of Jean-Michel Trogneux and Véronique Dreux.
  There is a picture of Jean-Jacques in which he resembles tremendously Emmanuel Macron, which is weird as they officially have only an in-law relationship.
  Xavier Poussard knew a man who was a close friend of Jean-Jacques Trogneux in their student days, and who had been his room-mate. When Xavier called him to ask about Jean-Jacques’ father, this person first replied that he actually had never heard anybody talk about Jean-Jacques’ dad, as if it was a taboo subject. Very shortly after this phone call, Xavier was called back by this person to strongly and fully deny what he said before, and that, in fact, Jean-Jacques’ dad had been a totally normal subject of conversation, and that he was a ‘short fat guy’ (“un petit gros”, a fitting description for the person indicated by the Elysée to be Jean-Michel Trogneux).
  

• Le Petit Gros: a yet unidentified “short fatty guy” who is unofficially claimed to be Jean-Michel Trogneux. He is present in the videos of Emmanuel Macron’s inaugurations, but not with the Trogneux family members, but in a totally different ‘box’ with commercial people. The presentation of this person as being Jean-Michel Trogneux is a later response to the rumours by people who claimed to be doing research as well, not an immediate explanation given by the Macrons. He refused to give interviews, but was photographed playing cards in an ordinary, cheap, local bar “PMU” (a chain of sports betting bars, present all over France), where the working class comes.
  This person is apparently only since the past two years living in an apartment above a little ‘shop’, “L’Atelier Jean Trogneux”, an ‘outlet’ of the Trogneux business in Amiens that only in 2019 acquired this name, and which Google maps says is “permanently closed”. If true, it means that this person did not live there until well after the scandal broke, indicating that he is most probably a paid or blackmailed stand-in who has to fill the gap of the missing brother.
  The person is not Jean-Michel Trogneux according to Face++ comparisons with the youth pictures of Jean-Michel Trogneux. He also does not fit the bill in any way. He has been checked out by a Brigittologist, who visited the same local, working class bar PMU. We have to remember that the Trogneux family is nouveau riche, part of the French beau monde, they married into wealthy entrepreneurs and are part of the better classes. The little apartment and the very commoners’ bar where this person goes has nothing of that classy life-style that surrounds the whole family and also Jean-Michel Trogneux’s youth and life until it all disappears behind the wall of silence. This family is friends with the political scene, has big houses with servants, and goes to elite schools. Meeting Jean-Michel Trogneux completely at home in such a low-class environment is totally out of character, it is simply not credible. In the videos of Macron’s inaugurations, the same feature is noticed: this person does absolutely not behave as if he is part of the Trogneux family, let alone Brigitte’s brother: he seems to be totally out of place and out of his comfort zone, unaware of how things go in the high society, where the Trogneux family belongs.
  The Brigittologist claims to have been present in the bar while le Petit Gros was having his weekly game of cards, and to have overheard parts of the conversation with his playing partners, and heard one of the persons call him “Henri”, which is Jean-Michel’s middle name, but still remarkable. All of the alleged conversation (which was not recorded unfortunately) indicated a life completely different from Jean-Michel Trogneux’s.
  There are no known interviews with this person, nobody has seen any proof of this person’s identity, and everything surrounding the claim that he is Jean-Michel Trogneux is not credible and outright weird: it raises more questions than it answers (e.g. the alleged picture of Brigitte Macron with Le Petit Gros at the inauguration).
  Pressibus and others claim that this person was put in place early on, and I cannot see why. From everything I’ve seen, he is only a recent reaction to the scandal, a desperate attempt to put a face on Jean-Michel Trogneux because the total absence of recent pictures and of his presence in public makes it of course very plausible that the theory is true and that Brigitte Macron is actually Jean-Michel Trogneux.

  Candace Owens mentions that the legal notices she was served with mention le Petit Gros as being Jean-Michel Trogneux as well.
  

• Françoise Noguès, formerly Françoise Macron-Noguès, born in 1950: the alleged mother of Emmanuel Macron. She has admitted that she knew Brigitte Macron all her life: they lived in the same town and were apparently friends early on. Note that Brigitte Trogneux is only three years younger than Françoise, but that Jean-Michel Trogneux is five years older. Both Jean-Michel and Brigitte Trogneux are very close in age to Françoise, who may have been a childhood friend or acquaintance to either. In one of the hagiographies, she cryptically tells the journalist that for her, “Brigitte is not a daughter-in-law”.
  Brigitte Macron became the teacher of Françoise’s children later on.
  The reason why there is doubt whether she is actually Emmanuel’s biological mother, is that there are no pictures of Emmanuel as a child with this parents, and that he hardly ever mentions them. The official biography seems to indicate that Emmanuel grew up with his grandmother.
  To make this already very strange affair even more weird, Françoise is, like her husband, a medical doctor, but nothing more is specified about what exactly her field of expertise was or what she did professionally, other than that she was a medical advisor with the Sécurité Sociale, the national fund for medical insurance. But a hearing in the Assemblé Nationale revealed that Françoise Noguès was actually involved in the transition of hermaphrodites to their identified gender. The wall of silence is also here complete, and we only have two testimonies of ‘intersex’ persons that she was involved in their transition. It would not be outlandish to assume that she thus also would be involved in helping transsexuals, as both hermaphrodism and transsexuality are very rare afflictions but have similar surgical interventions and transitions.

[The picture below is from the Pressibus website, and even though I don’t subscribe to their very convoluted speculations about who is the parent of whom at all, graphics like these are absolutely great and I found it a fitting illustration for this post.]
