European Union flags at half mast near the buildings of the European institutions in Brussels in mourning for the death of the President of the EU Parliament David Sassoli.
In the seat of the European Parliament in the Belgian capital, the blue flags with the 27 golden stars fly at half mast from 8.30 on 11 January 2022. Shortly afterwards, the Commission and the EU Council also did the same in the buildings of the European headquarters.
"It is a sad day for Europe."
Today our Union loses a convinced pro-European, a sincere democrat and a good man ". This was stated by the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, speaking in Italian, recalling David Sassoli during a press point. He was" a man who fought for justice and solidarity and a good friend, my thoughts go out to his wife Alessandra, his children Giulio and Livia and all his friends ", added the president, who wore a black dress and mask.
