Grecia cere reluarea discuțiilor cu Marea Britanie pentru returnarea sculpturilor Partenonului: „Este necesară voință politică”

Discussions between the UK and Greece regarding the return of the Parthenon sculptures have stalled, with Greece expressing disappointment over the lack of progress. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis advocates for negotiations to resume, emphasizing the need for the permanent reunification of the sculptures in Athens. He argues that the sculptures are integral parts of a single monument, unlike the Bayeux Tapestry, which is a standalone artwork. Mitsotakis highlights that the return of the sculptures could foster broader cultural cooperation between Greece and the UK. The Greek government contests the legality of the original removal of the sculptures and seeks political will for their reunification, linking the issue to the symbolism of democracy.
