After a myriad of problemsbesetting the apartment complex located in the Condamine district, tenants of the Jardins d’Apolline have finally received good news. As of Wednesday, they were told they could start moving back in, weeks ahead of schedule.
On hand for the occasion were several notable and interested parties, including Minister of Finance and the Economy Jean Castellini, President of the National Council Housing Commission Franck Lobono, Head of the Mission for the Minister of State Albert Croesi, and President of the Jardins d’Apolline Resident’s Association Céline Lubert.
“In the summer of 2017, the Prince’s Government pledged to redo all the apartments of the Jardins d’Apolline as new as soon as possible,” said Mr Castellani. “To this end, the State services mobilised with the support of Mr. Albert Croési, whose involvement was total and daily.”
Jardins d’Apolline is a State-owned building that primarily houses Monegasque nationals.
“The good management of the site by the company mandated has allowed the reintegration of residents in their homes in advance compared to the estimated time,” he continued. “The reinstatements of block D should be completed at the end of January 2020 and those of block B at the beginning of April 2020. Then follow blocks C and A. I wish to underline the constructive exchanges that took place with the National Council on this very sensitive issue. The role of the Association of Residents and Traders of the Jardins d’Apolline is also to be welcomed.”

A Monegasque delegation consisting of HE Robert Fillon, Ambassador of Monaco in Italy and Permanent Representative of the Principality to FAO, Elisabeth Lanteri-Minet, Director of International Affairs in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, and Martine Garcia-Mascarenhas, Second Secretary at the Embassy of Monaco in Rome, are taking part in the 40th UN Food and Agriculture Organisation Conference, being held in Rome from July 3 to 8.
The Conference opened with a statement by the Italian Prime Minister, Paolo Gentiloni, who highlighted Italy's strong commitment to international cooperation in the fight against hunger and the eradication of poverty.
His Eminence Archbishop Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy State, took the floor to read a message in which Pope Francis urged participating states to make the right to food for all individuals an absolute priority.
The overall theme of the Conference is the review of FAO's Work and Budget Programme for the upcoming 2018-2019 biennial summit on climate change, agriculture and food security. It will address food issues through Sustainable Development Goal No. 2: Eliminating hunger, ensuring food security, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture.
The Rome Conference will also address famine situations that currently threaten 20 million people in four countries – Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan – which require the international community to act urgently. The Principality has already contributed with the payment of €300,000.
