Gaelle Paty raconte son frère
Il y a près d'un an, le 16 octobre, Samuel Paty était assassiné à la sortie du collège de Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines), où il enseignait. Sa soeur, Gaëlle Paty, a accepté de rencontrer « La Croix » dans sa librairie de Marciac, dans le Gers. Le meurtre de son grand frère, Gaëlle Paty l'a appris par la presse, comme toute sa famille. Elle a reçu une alerte sur son téléphone, le 16 octobre 2020, l'informant qu'un enseignant venait d'être sauvagement assassiné devant son collège des Yvelines. Elle a d'abord pensé que ça ne pouvait pas être lui.
Près d'un an plus tard, elle a accepté de rencontrer La Croix. C'est la première fois qu'elle donne une interview. Au téléphone, elle avait dit vouloir raconter qui était Samuel ; ses valeurs, ses convictions, ses lectures ; sans toutefois dévoiler l'intimité de sa famille Alors, on a commencé par parler du livre posthume de son frère qui vient de paraître aux Presses universitaires de Lyon. En devanture de sa librairie, il est placé entre deux livres sur l'écologie, Animal, de Cyril Dion, et le dernier roman d'Emmanuelle Salasc, Hors gel, l'un de ses coups de coeur de la rentrée.
Gaelle Paty tells about her brother in her bookshop in Marciac
Almost a year ago, on 16 October, Samuel Paty was murdered outside the school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines), where he taught. His sister, Gaëlle Paty, agreed to meet "La Croix" in her bookshop in Marciac, in the Gers. Gaëlle Paty learned of her older brother's murder from the press, as did her entire family. She received an alert on her phone on 16 October 2020, informing her that a teacher had been brutally murdered in front of her school in the Yvelines. At first she thought it couldn't be him.
Almost a year later, she agreed to meet La Croix. This is the first time she has given an interview. On the phone, she said she wanted to tell us who Samuel was - his values, his convictions, his readings - without, however, revealing the intimacy of his family. So we started by talking about her brother's posthumous book, which has just been published by the Presses universitaires de Lyon. In front of his bookshop, it is placed between two books on ecology, Animal, by Cyril Dion, and the latest novel by Emmanuelle Salasc, Hors gel, one of his favourites of the fall.
