Monaco’s home-grown Formula 1 driver, Charles Leclerc, is aiming to win two Grand Prix races in 2019, with Monaco being one of them.

During his first season as a Ferrari driver, he is aiming for wins at his home track of Monaco as well as his team’s home track of Monza.

Speaking at an event in Milan, he told reporters, “My goal is obviously to do my best and respect the team’s expectations.

“I will have a driver at my side like Sebastian Vettel who will provide important help for me to grow and learn. He is a great guy, as well as a great driver, and I got to know him when I worked on the simulator at Maranello and thanked me for the work I did.”

AS Monaco lost for the fourth time in five games as Olympique Lyonnais hammered them 3-0 on Sunday to move into third place in Ligue 1.

The loss pushed Monaco back into the relegation zone in the league, with 13 points from 17 games. Manager Thierry Henry this week said that this season is a marathon for the team, not a sprint. He is expecting a turn-around in performance to take time.

Monaco has conceded more goals this season than any team in Europe’s top five leagues – 45 goals in all competitions.

Henry said, “I think we made life too easy for Lyon. On the goals, we are at fault. We made the match too easy. It’s a heavy, hard defeat. Above all, when we make too many mistakes, a team like Lyon, which has many qualities, will score goals.”

Henry is frustrated at not seeing desire on the pitch when he sees it in training.

In recent years, under the leadership of Mayor Georges Marsan and the Communal Council, the Town Hall has gradually embarked on the digital transition. After the forms and the old acts becamme accessible online, then more recently the online payment of surface parking, citizens can now go online to request civil documents.

Users no longer need to go to the City Hall to request a birth certificate, marriage certificate or any other document issued by the Civil Status Service – Nationality.

Requests for online proceedings can be accessed directly from the www.mairie.mc website in three languages ​​- French, Italian and English. Documents can be ordered and paid online, before being sent directly to the user’s home.

Soon, the City Council will also implement the digitisation of tenders. These can be consulted following their publication in the Official Journal of Monaco from a dedicated platform still accessible via the website of the City Council. Interested companies will have the opportunity to download the consultation file.

For information, the digitisation of calls for tenders is a legal obligation in France since 1 October 2018. Although the Principality is not subject to this legislation, the Town Hall of Monaco, in view of its activities, wanted to match the rule.

Corinne Bertani and Béatrice Fresko-Rolfo, National Councillors, visited the Women Leaders Global Forum, 26-28 November 2018, in Rekjavik (Iceland).

They participated in various meetings whose main theme was “Power Together”.

The goal was to share ideas, experiences and good practices so that women could flourish and participate in the economic and political development of their countries.

Political, economic and associative leaders from all over the world discussed these themes during these two days and Bertani and Fresko-Rolfo were able to make known the evolution of women’s rights in the Principality of Monaco.

Katrin Jakobsdottir, Prime Minister of Iceland, reminded the audience that women’s rights can only evolve through education, family law, violence against women and girls, peace in the world and women’s associations.
