British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that based on the agreement with the Albanian government, it has become possible to return 1,800 people to Albania.
He stressed that he had reduced the illegal entry of immigrants into the British state by 20%, while announcing a plan of government measures to combat the phenomenon.
“Before I launched my plan in December, the number of people entering Britain illegally in small boats had quadrupled in two years. Some said this problem was insurmountable or just a fact of the 21st century. They had lost faith in politicians to put in the hard yards to do something about it. And of course we still have a long way to go. But in the five months since I launched the plan, crossings are now down by 20% compared to last year. It is the first time since the start of this problem that arrivals between January and May have fallen compared to a year ago,” Sunak said, highlighting his government’s work to curb illegal immigrants on British soil.
The rhetoric towards immigrants, mainly albanians, In the british parliament has often caused controversy.
