11/01/2022 | Public administration

Apostolos Tzitzikostas, President of the European Committee of the Regions, said on 11 January:

I am deeply saddened by the sudden death of David Sassoli, President of the European Parliament. The European Union and Italy cry for the passing away of a true European.

As passionate journalist, convinced politician and committed President of the EP, he always upheld our common European democratic values. My sincere thoughts are with his family.

Riposa in pace, caro David.
