The EEG would like to express its deepest condolences for the loss of David Sassoli, President of the European Parliament. Mr Sassoli’s engagement in upholding children’s rights and the rights of persons with disabilities made him a valuable ally as a person and as a policy maker.

As an association, we will remember his leadership against inequality and his defense of those most at risk of exclusion.

The EEG’s thoughts go out to Mr Sassoli’s family, his loved ones and all Europeans.
