The group of socialists in the European Parliament backed Italian lawmaker David Sassoli on Tuesday (2 July) as their candidate for the presidency of the chamber, making him the most likely next speaker of the assembly, writes Francesco Guarascio.

Sassoli is supported by his socialist grouping and by the centre-right group, the largest in the parliament, under a deal negotiated by European Union leaders. The election of the parliament’s speaker took place on Wednesday (3 July) and concluded the appointments for EU top jobs after EU-wide elections in May.
