The nation will pay tribute on Wednesday at La Sorbonne to the professor assassinated Friday in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.
On this occasion, he will be decorated posthumously by the President of the Republic of the Legion of Honor and Academic Palms, announced Jean-Michel Blanquer on Tuesday on BFMTV.
It is an eminently symbolic ceremony which will take place on Wednesday at La Sorbonne, when the Nation will pay a final tribute to Samuel Paty.
Beyond the emotion aroused by the assassination on Friday in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, of this history-geo professor, the executive wants to send strong messages.
Emmanuel Macron will deliver a solemn speech, and decorate the teacher posthumously.
He will thus receive the Legion of Honor, but not only.
"He will be made commander of academic palms", announced Tuesday Jean-Michel Blanquer, the Minister of Education, on BFMTV.
"It is very emblematic, because it is the order that goes with the teachers with the world of education. His martyrdom is well worth this recognition of his institution".
