The comments by Macron were made after a French junior high school teacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded while he was on his way home. After the incident, Macron’s government decided to honour the teacher with French Legion d’honneur, the highest decoration bestowed by the French state.
Macron claimed that the incident was an ‘Islamic terrorist attack’. He later said: “Unity and firmness are the only answers to the monstrosity of Islamist terrorism.”
