Mendoni, visibly frustrated by the poor condition of archaeological sites, did not hold back her criticism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy haven\u2019t you repaired it?\u201d Mendoni demanded, pointing to the neglected state of the sites. Papadimitriou responded, \u201cWe haven\u2019t repaired it because it costs 45,000.\u201d The minister shot back sharply, \u201cI beg you, you have taken millions!
