Wowzers! This guy is a piece of work.

The best is where he talks about "opportunities to get to know the fabulous universe of think tanks".

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

Madelin is, as you say, a "piece of work", but he's mostly a wannabe as far as the contacts with big bad neo-lib US outfits go. He's extremely stupid and doesn't have much of a positive image in France. In other words, as I say in a reply to redstar above, I don't think he's hugely dangerous (though I wouldn't be happy to see him offered a ministerial post).
