Full Story:
Thomas Brezzo, an attorney, has been reelected as the President of the National Council of Monaco. The reelection took place during a public session dedicated to the renewal of positions. Jean-Louis Grinda was also confirmed as the Vice President and praised Brezzo’s significant contribution to the assembly. In his speech, Brezzo expressed gratitude for the renewed trust and highlighted the honor and responsibility of the position. He emphasized his commitment to the Principality, its citizens, residents, and economic actors, aiming to work together with a sense of duty and integrity.
Brezzo also paid tribute to two prominent figures who recently passed away: Henry Rey, a former President of the National Council and a reference in the legal, political, and sports fields, and Didier Guillaume, whose sudden death left a deep impact. Brezzo acknowledged their contribution to the Principality and called for a minute of silence in their memory.
Regarding the functioning of the National Council, Brezzo advocated for a method based on seriousness, transparency, and respect for collegiality. He highlighted the improvement of the institutional climate and the importance of legislative activity, which allowed the Council to reaffirm itself in the institutional landscape and the lives of citizens.
Brezzo emphasized the essentiality of dialogue to achieve results but also stressed the need for firmness when agreements are not respected. He recalled the rejection of the first amending budget of 2024, motivated by responsibility towards citizens. He further underlined the significance of keeping the commitments made by the government, as actions speak louder than words.
Lastly, Brezzo presented a list of projects for which the National Council awaits concrete responses, including the renovation of the Fontvieille Shopping Center, the urban plan for Annonciade II, the publication of a National Housing Plan, the creation of a new Monegasque media, the development of mobility infrastructure, waste management, and access to healthcare. He concluded by emphasizing that the solidity and stability of institutions depend on the fulfillment of commitments and set a deadline of June 30th to observe concrete progress.
