SYRIZA had issued an announcement on the issue for a breach of archaeological legislation – earlier.
A lawsuit against anyone responsible for violating archaeological legislation is proceeded with the Ministry of Culture within the day, regarding the advertisement of a sportswear company depicting the Acropolis.
As stated in a statement issued by the Ministry: “The competent departments of the Ministry of Culture file a lawsuit against anyone responsible for violating archaeological legislation within the day. In addition, the ministry is in contact with the Civil Aviation Authority to investigate or not the licensing process of the drone overprint, in accordance with the legislation in force. “
SYRIZA also issued a statement on the issue. It states “the image through the flock of drones of the sports shoe that” presses “on the Acropolis for advertising reasons is an offensive commercialization of the core of our cultural heritage. By what criterion was the acceptance of such a proposal when last month the Ministry of Culture did not allow director George Lanthimos for the filming of his film in the archaeological site? “
