Metternich reveals the democratic principles of Ioannis Capodistrias

On the occasion of the 250th anniversary since the birth of Ioannis Capodistrias, the SHP and the Philhellenism Museum honour the first Governor of Greece and present from their collections a rare classified document of Metternich in which he outlines the great Greek statesman, his dedication to the liberation of Greece and his democratic principles.

The document has been studied by the historian Panagiotis Paspaliaris, who issued a relevant article in the Greek newspaper “Kathimerini”.
