🗿 Marbles

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has intensified his call for the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, emphasizing the necessity of political will in an interview with The Guardian. The Prime Minister, who is the leader of the New Democracy party, highlighted the cultural significance of the sculptures by drawing a parallel with the Bayeux Tapestry, advocating for their return to Greece. Meanwhile, a new corruption investigation is underway in Mykonos, with the Hellenic Police's 'Adiaphthoroi' unit probing the island's urban planning department over allegations of unchecked violations, uncollected fines, and disappeared inspection reports. This comes as new developments also emerge in the high-profile Mazanaki death probe, with the family seeking new witness testimony and suspicions arising about substances administered to the singer, alongside details of a doctor's alleged hypnotherapy plan. The issue of femicide continues to be a focal point, with a critical article highlighting Greece's ongoing legal denial of femicide as a distinct criminal offense and underscoring the urgent need for legislative change. This discussion is set against the backdrop of the recent funeral for a 25-year-old femicide victim in Igoumenitsa and the emotional outrage expressed by Kyriaki Griva's mother regarding the perpetrator's continued confinement in a psychiatric hospital.
