“Culture of cement” vandalizing Partenon

It includes cementing areas on the ancient hill as well as an elevator for the disabled. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*xg3rKjWUst763MtZUGJgLA.jpeg" style="height:525px; width:700px" /> The Ministry claims that cement paths aim to facilitate access for visitors with mobility problems.

Andreas Angelis of the AMEA group said the project could have been completed with other constructions rather than “choking the Holy Rock in cement” and said that, apart from not respecting the area itself, the project lacked a route for blind people, a toilet for the disabled and other installations which show the real lack of intent in helping the disabled. He further added that the lift already at the Acropolis was never fixed so that it could operate. <a href="https://lihtenvalner.medium.com/culture-of-cement-vandalizing-partenon-73f5a2df0084">Read More</a>
