希腊总理誓言加大力度争取追回帕特农神庙雕塑

希腊总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯承诺将加强努力从英国博物馆追回帕特农神庙雕塑，并首次公开承认与英国博物馆主席乔治·奥斯本的谈判已陷入僵局。1米佐塔基斯表示："我们将非常明确地加大我们的要求力度，不仅是与英国博物馆，也是与英国政府。"1这些雕塑自1816年起被收藏在伦敦英国博物馆，迄今已超过200年，约160米的雕饰至今仍在该馆收藏。1

米佐塔基斯计划向新任英国首相伯纳姆强力推进此事。1伯纳姆曾在2023年担任大曼彻斯特市长时发表文章称"把它们送回来，无附加条件"，但自上台后数日内改变立场，现称此事为"英国博物馆的问题"。1为推动遣返，希腊方面提议采用文物交换方案，用从未在希腊外展出的其他文物进行交换，称此举将重塑英国的国际形象。1

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has pledged to "ramp up" efforts to recover the Parthenon sculptures from the British Museum, while publicly acknowledging that negotiations with the museum's leadership have stalled 1. Mitsotakis stated that Greece will "make our demands very clear, not only to the British Museum but also to the British government," signaling a more aggressive diplomatic approach 1.

The Parthenon sculptures have resided in London's British Museum for over 200 years, with approximately 160 meters of sculptural reliefs held in the collection since 1816 1. Mitsotakis plans to press the issue directly with new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, despite the latter's recent reversal on the matter 1. Starmer previously supported the marbles' return when serving as Greater Manchester mayor in 2023, tweeting "send them back, no strings attached," but shifted his position shortly after taking office by characterizing the issue as "a matter for the British Museum" 1. Greece has proposed exchanging the sculptures with other artifacts never before displayed outside Greece, arguing that such a gesture would enhance Britain's international standing 1.
