Former European Commission President Jacques Delors has died at age 98, his daughter Martine Aubry said. She said that Delors had died in his sleep on Wednesday morning in his Paris home, as reported by the BBC.

Delors had also served as French finance minister from 1981–84 as a “statesman with a French destiny” and “inexhaustible craftsman of our Europe.” French President Emmanuel Macron praised Delors and said his commitment, his ideals, and his righteousness will always inspire. “His commitment, his ideals, and his righteousness will always inspire us,” he said, as quoted by the BBC.
The French President further stated, “I salute his work and his memory and share the pain of his loved ones.” Delors served three terms as European Commission president, longer than anyone else.
