The son of the first victim among 130 people killed in coordinated attacks in Paris a year ago said on Sunday his Portuguese-born father was the symbol of integration that is the key to healing the stigmatization that drives some youth to violence.
President Francois Hollande unveiled a plaque "in memory of Manuel Dias", pulling away a French flag covering it on a wall at one of the entrances to the French national stadium, where he was killed on Nov 13, 2015, by Islamist extremists.
Hollande also planned to unveil plaques honoring the victims at the bars and restaurants in Paris and the Bataclan concert hall, which reopened on Saturday night with a concert by British pop star Sting.
