Ceremonies in memory of Samuel Paty took place in all schools this Friday. The Ministry of National Education recorded no less than 98 incidents during these tribute ceremonies. Seven students in particular uttered threats.
On October 16, 2020, the history and geography professor Samuel Paty was beheaded not far from his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines), by a terrorist who was shot dead by the police shortly thereafter. A year later, on Friday, the Ministry of National Education held a tribute day in all schools across the country. 98 incidents were recorded, including seven students who uttered threats.
The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, reacted on France 2 this Saturday morning to these incidents, and wanted to be reassuring: “There are 60,000 schools and schools in France. Compared to everything that happened after Charlie Hebdo and the Bataclan, or when we had a minute of silence last year, it is down sharply.”
“There is a follow-up” says the minister
“Not only do we report incidents, but we follow up on them. Often these are incidents of varying nature, small, medium or large,” continued the Minister. “A student who says anything, or a student who becomes threatening, is not the same thing. The second case is an ultra-minority, we have seven. All of this remains very isolated cases, and that we are dealing with, there is a follow-up.”
This Saturday, a commemorative plaque in tribute to Samuel Paty was unveiled in front of the Ministry of National Education, in the presence of Prime Minister Jean Castex. The family of the murdered professor was also received by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron. In addition, a Samuel-Paty square will be inaugurated opposite the Sorbonne in Paris.
