Four years after the assassination of Samuel Paty, his sister Mickaëlle Paty gave an interview to Audrey Crespo-Mara for “Le Portrait de la Semaine” from Sept à Huit. It will be broadcast this Sunday around 7:20 p.m. on TF1.
For four years, Mickaëlle Paty has been fighting to keep the memory of her brother alive. In Le cours de monsieur Paty (on sale from October 16), she recounts the lesson for which her brother, a history and geography professor, was beheaded by an Islamist terrorist near his college in Bois-d’Aulne. Nurse anesthetist at the hospital, mother of two children, she was not predestined to speak this word. But, in a country where the principle of secularism is still threatened every day at school, Mickaëlle Paty has been investigating the 11 days of an infernal spiral since the death of her older brother, which preceded the tragedy.
Mickaëlle Paty: “ I decided to publish my brother’s course to restore his dignity as a man and a teacher. Because this course is the reason my brother died, and you know nothing about its contents. You don’t know that it was within the framework of this teaching, included in the fourth grade program, that Samuel showed caricatures. I also publish it because I heard too many “Yes, but. » But in France, we don’t say “Yes, but” after a teacher has been beheaded. We put a point. »
