(ANSA) - PARIS, OCTOBER 16 - Jean Castex paid homage to Samuel Paty, killed a year ago for showing Muhammad's caricatures in class, presenting him as "a servant of the Republic, a victim of Islamist terrorism and human cowardice".


    Samuel Paty - he said - was "shot to death in the most abject conditions in the name of the most barbaric obscurantism, simply because he was carrying out his mission in a French school," said the head of the government during a ceremony at the Ministry of Education.


    "Paying homage to Samuel Paty is paying homage to the Republic," added alongside the minister Jean-MichelBlanquer and in the presence of the victim's family and many former ministers of education.


    A year after the day of his assassination, homages to Samuel Patysi are being carried out in the Val-d'Oise, his region of origin, in the Yvelines, where he taught, and in Paris, where his family will be welcomed at the Elysée.


    A plaque was unveiled in his memory at the entrance to the Ministry of Education.
