Anagnostopoulou: The return of the Statues of the Virgin is not a communication game for the election campaign of the ND

by

“It is impermissible for the Prime Minister and the Minister of Culture, alone and with hidden agreements, to settle this internationally leading issue of cultural heritage”

“The cultural treasures and history of this place are not their concern and the return of the Parthenon Sculptures is not a communication game for the ND pre-election campaign. It is primarily an act of moral settlement that takes on a universal dimension”, emphasizes the culture department head of SYRIZA-PS, Anagnostopoulou Co., noting that “it is impermissible for the Prime Minister and the Minister of Culture, alone and in collusion, to settle this internationally leading cultural heritage issue”.

Mrs. Anagnostopoulou comments in her statement that “unfortunately, in the case of the Mitsotakis government, it seems that the terms of the social contract have been absolutely violated, the very foundation of democracy is being crushed”. On behalf of the official opposition, he warns that “19th century secret diplomacy, between tycoons and other “big heads”” and “secret agreements in which the borrowing and assignment of our national wealth are called “return” and ” repatriation””. He notes that “this policy of the exchange of antiquities between Greece and Britain which hides the recognition, through the loan, of the ownership of the Parthenon Sculptures in the British Museum, constitutes a retreat from the national line for their return”. “That’s why no more secrets and lies, Mr. Prime Minister, that will undermine the future of this country. We demand immediate answers”, concludes the head of SYRIZA’s Culture department.
