The European Parliament will officially rename one of its buildings in Brussels to honour former Parliament president David Sassoli, the institution announced on Monday.
What Parliament is doing
The renaming ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, when a Parliament building in Brussels will be formally given the name “Sassoli building” in tribute to David Sassoli. The announcement was issued by the European Parliament.
Why it matters
David Sassoli served as president of the European Parliament. Naming a Parliament building after him is a symbolic act by the institution to recognise his role and service. The move reflects the Parliament’s decision to commemorate a former president within its physical infrastructure in Brussels.
What happens next
The Parliament’s press release provides the date of the renaming as Tuesday but does not specify further details about the ceremony, such as participants, timing, or programme. No additional procedural steps or follow-up actions were indicated in the announcement.
