Prime Minister Edi Rama has criticized his British counterpart, Rishi Sunak, regarding his attitude towards Albanian immigrants who travel to England by dinghy.
The news was announced by Charles Hymas, the editor of internal affairs of the British newspaper "The Telegraph".
Rama accused the UK government of "inventing the drama" over Albanian immigrants, when they now make up only two percent of boat arrivals in the English Channel.
His comments come after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a speech that the plan to stop ships crossing the English Channel was starting to work. Sunak stated today that small boat crossings have been reduced by 20%.
"The British government cannot break away from propaganda. It is pathetic and in bad taste to invent a drama for political gain. Less than two percent of the total arrivals in Great Britain were from Albania. To continue talking about Albanians is a low gesture", said Rama.
The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has emphasized today in a communication to the media, that the arrests of people who illegally cross immigrants into Britain have doubled.
"Before I launched my plan in December, the number of illegal dinghies entering the UK quadrupled in two years. Some said that this problem was insoluble. They had lost faith in politicians to do something about it. And of course, we still have a long way to go. But in the five months since I started the plan, passes are now down 20% compared to last year. This is the first time since the beginning of this problem that arrivals between January and May have decreased compared to a year ago," stated Sunak.
We recall that Prime Minister Edi Rama has not hesitated to criticize British ministers when they speak against Albanians, previously accusing Suella Braverman, the Secretary of the Interior, of "shameful" comments about the segregation of Albanians. He suggested that her comments last year about "Albanian criminals" crossing the English Channel in small boats could be considered a crime.
Thousands of Albanians are being tracked and targeted by Home Office officers for deportation. A team of 400 people has been set up to fast-track a large number of 17,000 asylum applications from Albanians, most of which are expected to result in their deportation.
The ministers believe that the new active approach and the new deportation agreements with Albania have shown efficiency in potential migrants from the Balkan state.
"The reason we are returning the Albanians is to prevent other people from coming in the first place and we are succeeding", says the Minister of Migration, Robert Jenrick, reports "The Telegraph".
