US EditionAlbanian PM: We’ll Take Every Criminal Back if Farage Is Right
- On June 29, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama publicly disputed Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's assertion that a disproportionately high number of Albanians in the UK are incarcerated.
- The dispute emerged after Farage referenced statistics from justice authorities and national population records to back his 'one in 50' claim, which Rama rejected as both outdated and inflated.
- Rama offered to personally repatriate all Albanian prisoners from the UK if the claim proved accurate and invited Farage to Albania as his guest of honor if it was false.
- Rama argued many Albanians face an outdated visa system and said their criminality rate is no higher than Britain's, adding Britain is "looking for places to dump migrants."
- The confrontation highlights tensions over migration and asylum policies post-Brexit, with implications for UK-Albania relations and migrant treatment debates.
