The AGE, the Association of European Journalists, shares the great loss and remembers the figure of David Sassoli, a great journalist and convinced Europeanist. AGE President Nuccio Fava joins the condolences of his colleagues in the Italian section of European journalists on the death of David Sassoli, saying: “Death is pain, emptiness and mystery. Sassoli was a generous friend, a good and supportive colleague who was always attentive in terms of seriousness, especially in the difficulties of work and endurance.” For AGE secretary-general Giuseppe Jacobini, David Sassoli, in all his journalistic activities and in his role as President of the European Parliament, showed how the values of freedom of the press and thought are at the heart of a united Europe that is always open to dialogue”.
