This week, the British prime minister was accused of « losing his marbles » by the opposition for refusing to talk to his Greek counterpart. Rishi Sunak cancelled a planned meeting with Kyriakos Mitsotakis because the Greek prime minister had told a reporter he wanted to discuss the possibility of Britain giving back the Ancient Greek sculptures, known as the both the Parthenon Marbles and the Elgin Marbles. Setting out both sides of the argument is our Perspective guest, Alexander Herman. He’s the author of « The Parthenon Marbles Dispute » and director of the Institute of Art and Law. He spoke to FRANCE 24’s Gavin Lee.
