“Sassoli was a symbol of balance, humanity and generosity. These qualities have always been recognized by all his colleagues, from all political circles and every European country,” said Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz lamented his loss, saying that “Europe has lost a devoted president of parliament, Italy a shrewd politician, and Germany a good friend.”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Analena Berbock praised Sassoli for “always managing to bridge divisions”.
She wrote on Twitter that “we will not forget his commitment to humane treatment of refugees.”
Der Tod von David Maria #Sassoli macht mich sehr traurig Als EP-Präsident gelang es ihm immer wieder, Gräben zu überwinden und so das Parlament als Ganzes zu stärken. Wir werden seinen überzuestten Einsatz für den menschlichen Umgang mit Geflüchteten nicht vergessen.
— Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock (@ABaerbock) January 11, 2022
EU Council President Charles Michel called the fellow politician “a sincere and passionate European. We already miss his human warmth, his generosity, friendliness and smile.”
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen said she was “deeply saddened by the terrible loss of a great European and proud Italian”. In a post on Twitter, she described Sassoli as “a compassionate journalist, an outstanding President of the European Parliament and a dear friend”.
I am deeply saddened by the terrible loss of a great European and proud Italian.
David Sassoli was a compassionate journalist, an outstanding President of the European Parliament and above all a dear friend.
My thoughts are with his family.
Riposa in pace, caro David!

“What a great shock and great loss. I am deeply saddened. He left us too soon. My condolences to his family! Dear David, rest in peace,” German MEP Ismail Ertuğ wrote on Twitter.
Another MEP, Italy’s Paolo Borchia, said he was “stunned” by the news because it was so “sudden”. A former journalist, Sassoli was first elected as a member of the European Parliament in 2009. He won another term in 2014 and served as Parliament’s vice president.
He then became president of the 705-seat legislature in 2019. Parliament sits for five-year terms between elections, but the body’s president serves half of that time, and Sassoli has indicated he will not seek re-election.
