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 with his leadership against inequality and the defense of these most at risk of exclusion.

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