Recently, he was in the news regarding a controversial drone light show organized by Adidas, which was perceived to have been conducted above the Acropolis. Papathanasiou defended the legality of the event, stating that the Zappeion, overseen by the Ministry of Finance, does not require approval from the Ministry of Culture for such events, unless they involve technical work or alterations to the building or surrounding area.
