“The fixed position of our country is that it does not recognize in the British Museum the province, possession and ownership of the Sculptures” notes the Ministry of Culture
The Ministry of Culture launched an attack on SYRIZA for its stance on the repatriation of the Parthenon Sculptures.
On the occasion of the new announcement issued earlier by SYRIZA, the Ministry of Culture accused the official opposition of “promoting small-party benefits and the goal of destroying the government, regardless of whether its positions cause damage to the country.”
The announcement of the YPPOA
“The government, since the beginning of its term, has been acting with seriousness, responsibility, sensitivity and efficiency, in order to realize the national goal of returning the Parthenon Sculptures to Athens and reuniting them in the Acropolis Museum. This is undoubtedly assumed by a series of events of the last two years: From UNESCO’s decision, in September 2021, and the definitive (sine die) reunification of the Fagan fragment, to the conversion and support of the Greek request by international public opinion. We repeat, once again, our country’s firm position that it does not recognize the British Museum’s jurisdiction, possession and ownership of the Sculptures, as they are the product of theft. Therefore, let the official opposition stop blabbing. We would expect in this national effort that small-party calculations would be left aside and that there would be an enlistment of all. Unfortunately we don’t see it. For some, the first goal is to wear down the government, even with lies, regardless of whether they harm the country. Pity”.
The announcement of SYRIZA
Earlier, reacting to related publications, the head of the Culture Department of the SYRIZA Committee and Member of Parliament for Achaia, Anagnostopoulou Co he spoke of “19th century secret diplomacy, between tycoons and other “big heads”” for the return of the Parthenon Sculptures. from the British Museum.
As Ms. Anagnostopoulou specifically mentioned: “There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding in the minds of Mr. Mitsotakis and Mrs. Mendonis: 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 pre-election campaign of the ND. It is primarily an act of moral settlement that takes on a universal dimension.”
