A few hours earlier, a spokesman for Parliament announced in Brussels that Sassoli had to be treated in hospital because of a “serious complication due to a dysfunction of the immune system”. The politician of the social democratic party Partito Democratico had already been in treatment since December 26th and canceled all of his appointments.
