Roberta Metzola: Europe lost a leader, democracy a champion and everyone a friend

“Europe has lost a leader, democracy has lost a champion and we have all lost a friend,” said caretaker President and EP leader Roberta Metzola at a memorial service for David Sassoli in Strasbourg.

Roberta Metzola spoke of a man with a great vision, who knew how to translate into action the values ​​he believed in.

At the same time, he stressed that David Sassoli fought for the parliament to remain active during the most critical months of the pandemic, a fact that allowed the legislative activity to continue. Ms. Metsola pointed out that she gave a sign of solidarity by putting the structures of the parliament at the disposal of the most vulnerable and especially the women who suffer violence, adding that she led the parliament with dignity and balance.

“David fought bravely to the end,” said Roberta Metzola.

His commitment to Europe was not only reflected in politics, he added, stressing that as a reporter he was determined to find the truth.

Ms. Metzola said that David Sassoli “as president led this institution always keeping in mind the dignity, rights and freedoms of all.”
