The sad news of the death of @EP_President David Maria Sassoli reached us this morning. David had to lead our institution through the most difficult period under the covid restrictions. I will deeply miss his warm and human way of dealing with everyone.

Waking up to a sad news. David Sassoli was a committed European, warm and honest, ready to change the status quo where outdated. I hope, we will continue his reform of parliament structure and agenda.

My thoughts are with his family, friends, team and colleagues @TheProgressives https://t.co/G7QrE9awQY
