Tsapanidou to Mendoni: The government must give explanations about the Parthenon Sculptures

The government must explain to the Greek people what a hybrid solution means and what constitutes a hybrid solution and inform the political forces about the progress of the negotiations for the Parthenon sculptures, the SYRIZA spokeswoman emphasizes Popi Tsapanidou, responding to the Minister of Culture Lina Mendonis.

The Minister of Culture, Ms. Mendoni is trying to turn such a critical issue into a field of party confrontation, says Popi Tsapanidou.

The announcement of Popis Tsapanidou in detail

“The reunification of the Parthenon sculptures is a case that unites all Greeks, above party labels. The struggle to achieve this goal is national and lasts decades.

The concerns of the leader of the opposition are reasonable, as they arise after a series of publications in the British press that talk about borrowing and exchanging the sculptures, but also publications in the Greek press that talk about a hybrid solution.

The government, therefore, has to explain to the Greek people what a hybrid solution means and what it constitutes and to inform the political forces about the progress of the negotiations.

The Minister of Culture, Ms. Mendoni, who is trying to turn such a critical issue into a field of party confrontation, should not forget that in 2018, during the SYRIZA government, the way was opened for the subsequent positive decision of UNESCO, with the adoption of a recommendation that explicitly recognized the ethical, cultural and legal dimension of reuniting the sculptures.

The sculptures of the Parthenon are a matter of national as well as universal importance. Until today, no government has used it as a tool, has not tried to obtain temporary micro-political benefits of a pre-election communication, Let the Mitsotakis government not fall into this blunder”.
