José María Gil-Robles was President of the European Parliament when he joined our Association . It was an honour to have such a distinguished lawyer as a member of our Association. He was both impressive and modest, two very rare qualities in a politician .
The present President of the European Parliament made tribute to him and that is posted under his name on our AIEL web site :
“José María Gil-Robles y Gil-Delgado, former president of the European Parliament, died on 13th February, 2023 at the age of 87. In a message on her Twitter account, the current president of the body, Roberta Metsola, has expressed her condolences to his family.
“He led Parliament in times of change with great determination to make this institution stronger and closer to the citizens,” Metsola said .”
