How All the Illegal Actions Became Legal in Adidas Sneaker Drama Over Acropolis

The events surrounding the Adidas sneaker campaign involving drones flying over the Acropolis seem like a theater of the absurd. The advertising agency reportedly obtained permission from the Zappeion management for drone flights within a specific area, paying merely €380. However, these drones inadvertently captured the Acropolis in their imagery, sparking outrage. Despite this, the Zappeion committee approved the activity unanimously without considering the broader implications. Neither the committee nor the company intended to circulate the images officially, but the spectacle was sold regardless. This incident raises questions about cultural heritage protection and regulatory oversights. Meanwhile, political tensions have risen as PASOK calls for pre-trial investigations on former ministers concerning the Tempi disaster, citing Article 291 of the Penal Code which could impose life sentences. In unrelated news, former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has closed the door on returning to New Democracy under Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ leadership, marking a definitive split. On an international note, Mitsotakis will address maritime security at the UN Security Council while celebrating his children’s graduations in the U.S., highlighting both diplomatic and personal milestones.
