Albanian PM accuses Mahmood of 'ethnic stereotyping'
Albanian PM Edi Rama calls UK Home Secretary's targeting of 700 Albanian families ethnic stereotyping and political scapegoating amid joint migration efforts.
- On Monday, Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania, accused UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood of `ethnic stereotyping` after she singled out around 700 Albanian families in asylum reform plans.
- The Home Secretary announced major asylum reforms to tackle an 'out of control and unfair' system, making refugee status temporary and extending settlement waits from five to 20 years.
- Citing official data, Prime Minister Edi Rama said intensive joint work since late 2022 has almost ended irregular arrivals and noted more than 13,000 deportations to Albania under the late 2022 returns deal.
- Political reactions split as around two dozen MPs voiced concern while Conservatives and Reform UK supported the plans, and Andi Hoxhaj said the Albanian community is frustrated by being singled out.
- The dispute echoes clashes since 2022, as Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania, has repeatedly accused British politicians of using Albanians as `scapegoats` amid a push to reform European Convention on Human Rights family-rights.
