“We are happy with the choice made by Iovine”, said the leader of the Democratic Party (Pd) in Brussels Parliament, David Sassoli, in the same note, adding that “the delegation of the Democratic Party is enhanced by an authority figure, which strengthens the S & D Group and also puts the Democratic Party between the strongest deleations in the European Parliament”.
