The news of the launch of the awareness campaign of the British government in the Albanian media and social networks, which aims to prevent the arrival of Albanians through the English Channel by dinghies, has been received with raised eyebrows and disbelief.
Rishi Sunak’s government mentions the danger, but also the detention and deportation of those who will come illegally, while the Labor opposition describes the immigration system as unreliable and in chaos, while the refugee associations are meaningless.
The government does not say how much this campaign has cost financially to warn the Albanians, who made up about 14,000 immigrants who came last year in total, of which about 9,500 came in dinghies out of 46,000 in total.
What is surprising about this campaign is that in the conditions when from January to March of this year, according to the BBC, only 1 percent of the arrivals so far are Albanians and the majority are Indians and from other nationalities, the campaign takes place only in Albania and not in India or the other countries where the vast majority of illegal immigrants to Britain come from.
For the skeptics, the answer comes in the form of the fact that Britain, thanks to the agreement between Sunak and the Albanian Prime Minister Rama, for the return of Albanians from Britain, the only place where they can return those who arrived in rafts is Albania, in the conditions where the Rwanda project is in legal resources and it is not known whether it will work or not.
When Albanians are still negligible among the rafts that still come, the campaign can also be an indicator of intelligent data for the flow of Albanians in the warm summer months, so it is done. It remains to be seen if this campaign will convince Albanians not to enter the illegal dinghy crossings through the English Channel, while the measures taken seem not to have convinced immigrants from other nationalities that they will be able to return to their countries of origin, as the government has promised Rishi Sunak’s British Conservative.
