“The reunification of the Sculptures is a wonderful opportunity for Britain to show magnanimity, demonstrating ingenuity rather than arrogance,” Baroness Shami Chakrabarti, a member of the House of Lords, a member of the ruling Labour Party, and a member of BCRPM, quoted in “TA NEA”. “Every person should be able to see these antiquities in their Athenian home. Lawyers are in a position to devise new international tools to protect these world treasures in perpetuity,” added Baroness Shami Chakrabarti.
The Ta Nea article, written in Greek, can be read in full and outlines the result of the Greek PM, Kyriakos Mitsotakis' London visit and his meeting with Sir Keir Starmer.
PM Mitsotakis has met up with Sir Starmer on several occasions starting a year ago when Mitsotakis was snubbed by the then UK PM, Rishi Sunak. All of PM Mitsotakis' encounters with Sir Starmer have been convivial and despite the fact that the current, Labour UK government is not willing to consider amending of the UK 's Museum Act.
The impasse continues.
