As Minister for Culture, she promoted Greece's cultural heritage and fought for the return of the Elgin Marbles. Some consider one her greatest achievements to be the founding of the European Capital of Culture.

Expert witness is Adrian Wootton OBE, Chief Executive of Film London and Victoria Solomonidis contributes
