In a condolence notebook, MEPs, officials, and visitors can leave their personal considerations on the “Pope of the people,” as the president of the EU institution, Roberta Metsola,<\/strong> calls him in the introductory hand-written page where she assures that “Europe will honor his legacy” and promises that the European Parliament will not squander his teachings.<\/p>\n
