It is a real rant that pushed this Monday, May 15 Raymond Aabou in "Touche pas au poste". It has been two and a half years since teacher Samuel Paty was murdered, beheaded for showing in class the cartoons of Mohammed published by Charlie Hebdo. Yet the college where the professor taught still does not bear his name. Because of the general fear of "decision-makers", who evade, according to the president of the association founded to perpetuate the memory of Samuel Paty.
"There is a form of hypocrisy. Samuel Paty everyone talked about him, we said he was a hero, but he is not a hero enough to rename the college, "says Valérie Bénaïm. "Why this college?" Raymond Aabou then intervenes before adding: "I want to go further". The columnist, very uplifted, then decides to launch into a plea that provoked the applause of the public on the set of "TPMP" on C8.

"Go ahead, take your 'corones' (testicles in Spanish, in colloquial language) and rename the colleges so that this professor didn't die for nothing. I will tell you, I am so uneducated. For me, he is like Charles de Gaulle, like Victor Hugo and like Jean Jaurès. It's like bus stops," he says. For Raymond Aabou, the name of Samuel Paty should be used to rename several schools throughout France, in the image of the great historical figures of our country.
"He's a hero to me. Otherwise, would we agree with the one who killed him then? The one who killed him, are we afraid? So we're afraid of the Bataclan, we're afraid of everything, we're crashing?" the columnist is indignant. "We do not crash" he says with conviction so as not to "forget this gentleman". Valérie Benaïm adds that Samuel Paty was "dropped by the hierarchy during his lifetime, and dropped by his hierarchy after his death".
