[01] SNF Cultural Centre a 'jewel' in the urban landscape, PM Alexis
Tsipras says
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC) is a "jewel"
in the urban landscape and an important legacy for the arts, education
and the environment, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday
at a meeting to prepare for the centre's handover to the state.
The project's construction was funded by the SNF and will be donated to
the Greek state once completed at the end of the year.
While chairing a meeting of a Special Advisory Committee on the SNFCC,
with the participation of the SNF Director Andreas Dracopoulos, Tsipras
thanked the foundation and Dracopoulos in person for their efforts to turn
"this great vision into a reality".
"For us this is a wager, to prove that the Greek state can seriously and
responsibility manage such an important multi-purpose space," Tsipras
said. "It is a wager that we have already started to win since we have
acted promptly so that everything is ready, both on the day when these
spaces are made available to the public and in the immediate future,
so that we can have the services that meet the high requirements of such
spaces," he added.
"I think we are making a transition to a different level and that the
country deserves this, in spite of the difficulties we are going through,"
Tsipras said.
