The Defense Council chaired by Emmanuel Macron decided on Sunday, October 18 to strengthen the security of schools at the start of the school year and to carry out rapid "concrete actions" against associations or individuals authors of hate or support messages after the assassination of Samuel Paty, said the Élysée.
The head of state "asked that we quickly take action and that no respite be left to those who organize themselves to oppose the republican order", added the Elysee, to the outcome of this 2:30 am meeting with six ministers and the anti-terrorist prosecutor Jean-François Ricard.
According to the Élysée, the authors of 80 messages of support on social networks for the attacker will be checked from Monday.
These announcements come two days after the death of a beheaded teacher near a college in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine after showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in class.
Expulsions of S files
In addition, the government will order the expulsion of 231 people listed S for radicalization, according to information from Europe 1 which was confirmed to Reuters by a union source.
Of this list, 180 people are currently in prison.
The 51 others, still at large, will be arrested, specifies a police union.
The Ministry of the Interior has also asked its services to examine more carefully the files of asylum seekers in France, according to the same union.
