The president of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, has been hospitalized since December 26 in a hospital in Italy. “This hospitalization was necessary due to the occurrence of a serious complication due to a dysfunction of the immune system. For this reason all official activities of the president of the European Parliament are canceled”. This was announced by his spokesman, Roberto Cuillo.
Sassoli had already been forced to cancel his institutional commitments from September of last year until the beginning of November, due to a “bad” pneumonia due to the Legionella bacterium, as he himself had explained in a video published after his recovery.
