SOUNDBITE (Italian), Roberta METSOLA, EP President,<em> </em>Dear Alessandra, I look with a deep sense of pride and satisfaction at this audience gathered here today to dedicate this house of citizens in the heart of Rome, to David Sassoli, who spent so much to bring the European Parliament closer to everyone. There is a beautiful message from David that I would also like to share with you. I read it in David Sassoli's book Wisdom and Audacity. "Europe must rediscover the pride of its democratic model. We must firmly hope that this model of democracy, freedom and prosperity will spread, that it attracts, that it will make dream not only our fellow European citizens, but also beyond our borders".  <p></p>
