The President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, cannot perform his official duties until further notice. The 65-year-old has been in hospital in Italy since December 26th due to a „serious complication in the course of a malfunction of the immune system,“ his spokesman announced. Sassoli had already been struggling with health problems before: He was absent for more than two months last fall due to severe pneumonia.
