The main point of contention is Greece's demand for the permanent return of the Parthenon Sculptures, which are currently housed in the British Museum.

Why does the Greek Prime Minister reject loan proposals for the Parthenon Sculptures?

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis rejects loan proposals because he believes they do not resolve the fundamental issue of ownership and reunification. He compares a temporary loan to dismembering a historical work like the Bayeux Tapestry, arguing that the sculptures are part of a single, dismembered monument that requires permanent return.
