In particular, he argued that the iconic treasures of the British Museum should be “shared” with Greece, writes the Telegraph. As the powerful Labor politician explained, speaking to “Nea”, an agreement on the Sculptures “is possible”, characterizing Rishi Sunak’s behavior towards Kyriakos Mitsotakis as “deplorable”.
In fact, he announced that the (incoming) Labor government under Keir Starmer will work with Greece “to reach a settlement”. He also praised former Tory chancellor George Osborne, who chairs the museum, for his “will” to reach a deal.
“I like the fact that Greeks come here to see these works of art, the marbles, the history. But wouldn’t it be great if people didn’t have to come to London to see them?” asked Sadiq Khan. “It doesn’t seem impossible to me to have an arrangement where these really precious, priceless Marbles can be shared,” he added. .
The Marbles are subject to the British Museum Act 1963, which prohibits the museum from disposing of its collection, apart from a small number of exceptions. However, Khan said: “The government needs to recognize that we are now in 2024.”
“I think that the British Museum, the British Government and the Greek Government should certainly be able to come to an agreement. These three parties involved are run by reasonable people and generally when it comes to reasonable things an agreement should be possible,” he concluded.
