Mattarella, death Pansa leaves a void

(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 13 - "Pansa was an intellectual with absolutely original characters. His talent, his autonomy of judgment made him an undisputed protagonist of contemporary journalism, with his freedom of expression and criticism, his refined interpretation of deeper facts and reasons. " This was stated by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
"His disappearance - he continues - leaves an emptiness difficult to fill in the debate of our country. I am close, in this day of mourning, to the family members and those who have accompanied him in these years. The lively intelligence of Giampaolo, the sharpness that he showed in his writings animated his distorting work, even arousing controversy and discussions, as was his custom. He was the master of many journalists, enriched the same vocabulary as politics of defining lightning, which marked several seasons. His traces and his testimonies will remain ".
