Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent New Year and Christmas greetings to the King and Queen of Spain and the Prince of Monaco and expressed the hope for positive development of relations with these countries, the Kremlin press service said on Sunday.

“The Russian head of state has conveyed his most sincere wishes of happiness, prosperity and successes to King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain, other members of the Royal Family and all Spanish citizens and stressed that he hopes to see in 2019 the Russia-Spanish relations of friendship and mutual respect developing constructively for the benefit of the two countries’ peoples and of entire Europe”, the Kremlin said.

Putin also sent a separate message to the father of the ruling Spanish monarch, King Juan Carlos I.

Apart from that, the Russian president sent his New Year and Christmas greetings to Prince of Monaco Albert II. “The Russian leader expressed the hope that in 2019 cooperation between Russia and Monaco will be enriched with new interesting joint initiatives and projects,” the Kremlin said.

A journey through time and space in the shape of a mind-blowing rock musical

This new rock musical takes the best of pop culture and sends on a fantastic journey.

Created in 2008, Airnadette is a group made up of six people: Château Brutal, Moche Pitt, Gunther Love, Scotch Brit, Jean-Françoise and MRodZ.

Movie quotes, commercials, political speeches, online memes and interplanetary hits are all mixed, compressed and resurrected with humour and poetry.

The story: one of the band members has disappeared. The Airnadette band members then go looking for him in a journey through time and space and find themselves caught in the grips of somebody who’s just not very nice.

This is how Bowie ends up talking to Sylvester Stallone, how Star Wars flirts with Norman Makes Videos, or Frozen, all accompanied by AC/DC’s punchy riffs, Taylor Swift’s sweet pop, and many other improbable surprises.

January 11th, 2019 – Salle Prince Pierre

It is a tradition organised every year by the Social Action Service of the Town Hall for our isolated seniors. A good example of inter-generational solidarity.

This Friday, December 21, 2018 at 9am, several members of the Communal Council – Camille Svara, Jacques Pastor, André J. Campana and Henri Doria – welcomed seven young people in primary and secondary schools in the Principality on the occasion of the Christmas Gesture for seniors.

These children and teenagers, all volunteers, offered some of their time to visit the homes of isolated seniors. Accompanied by staff of the Social Action Service of the Town Hall and led by the municipal mini-bus, they have distributed to each of the 25 beneficiaries a Christmas meal tray offered by the Costa bakery but also several gifts: a bottle of sparkling wine , a panettone, a box of chocolates as well as a lithograph of the Monaco City Hall and a CD of Monegasque songs interpreted by the students of the Rainier III Academy.

To thank these young people with a big heart for their involvement with seniors, the City Council gathered them at La Condamine Market after the distribution, at the end of the morning, to offer them a drink and a gift.

AS Monaco lost 2-0 this week to Guingamp – the team that is at the bottom of the French Ligue 1. A week after lamenting his team’s lack of desire to win, following a 3-0 defeat at Lyon, Henry still has work to do.

Rumours have been circulating in the football media, in advance of the upcoming January transfer window, that Monaco is looking to sign several top players.

Mousa Dembele, currently with Tottenham Hotspur, is said to be a preferred target of Thierry Henry’s.

Cesc Fabregas is another player linked with Monaco, but the Chelsea midfielder, who played with Henry at Barcelona and Arsenal, is also being sought by AC Milan.

Fabregas will be out of contract at the end of the year, and he is rumoured to be looking for more playing time.
