  • [01] Parliamentary committees pass omnibus bill for prior actions

    The omnibus bill for prior actions needed to complete the first review of the Greek programme and the disbursement of the final 2.8-billion-euro sub-tranche of loans to Greece was passed by the relevant Parliamentary committees on Monday. The bill was supported by the two ruling coalition parties, SYRIZA and Independent Greeks, while the entire opposition voted against. The bill must now be debated and voted on by the Parliament plenum.

    [02] Greece congratulates new board of Parthenon Marbles reunification campaign group

    The ministry of Culture congratulated the new board of the International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, elected during a meeting of all the national committees on Monday.

    The new board consists of Louis Godart, President (Italy), Anna Marangou, Vice President (Cyprus), Paul Cartledge, Vice President (United Kingdom), Matthew Taylor, Vice President (Canada), George Vardas, Secretary (Australia) and Andrew George, Treasurer (United Kingdom).

    Godart, beyond his role as an advisor of the Italian President on Cultural issues, is a renowned researcher of Egyptian archaeology, while he has specialized in issues of the Linear A and B.

    "As a friend and supporter of Greece, we believe he [Godart] will be essential in intensifying efforts for the return of the Parthenon Marbles. We wish the new board every success to and assure them that both the Ministry of Culture and Sport, and the Special Advisory Commission on the return of the Parthenon Marbles will be on their side and always assist their work," the ministry said in a press release.
