The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the intention of his government to start interviews with third countries for the creation of repatriation centers intended for irregular migrants Waiting for expulsion from the United Kingdom. Confirmed it during an official visit to Albaniaon the sidelines of a meeting with the premier Rama Ediconsidered from London a potential key partner in the management of migratory flows.
The goal, explained Starmer in an interview a GB NewsIt is “to ensure that irregular migrants are actually repatriated”, through the construction of abroad structures that act as a logistical hub. The premier has not indicated for now which the countries with which London intends to negotiate, but made it clear that Diplomatic assessments are already underway. The model you look at Downing Street It seems to be inspired by the agreement signed between Italy and Albania For the creation of temporary permanence centers (CPR) in Albanian territory, intended to host migrants intercepted in international waters.
An agreement that Starmer had already called “interesting” in previous meetings with the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, with whom he shares – at least on the immigration front – a certain convergence of views. An incredible break for the Italian left, Elly Schlein in the first place: yes, because Starmer is not a sovereignty, a right -wing extremist. Starmer is left. And its turning point is worth more than a thousand opposition chatter.
Different, underlined the Labor leader, the setting with respect to the contested Piano Ruandastrongly desired by previous conservative governments but never entered into force, due to the judicial appeals and the negative judgment of the British Supreme Court. “Expensive and ineffective”, he called him Starmer, who announced the definitive storage of the project. There close on immigrationat the center of the recent political proposal of the Labor Government, it also responds to the growing electoral pressures. The Nationalist UK nationalist party, led by Nigel Farage, is gaining consensus in the polls. The UKIP founder has praised the new Downing Street line, while asking the government to declare “a national emergency” on the Trump model.
The goal of the Starmer line is “finally resuming control of borders” and ensuring that the migratory system “is at the service of the national interest”. The project of the Labor leader provides more severe limits for views of study, work and family reunification. “We cannot afford to become an island of foreigners,” said the premier at a press conference, immediately arousing political and institutional reactions both nationally and European level.
Starmer’s plan raised criticism by humanitarian organizations, some exponents of the Labor and part of the public opinion. Some evoked comparisons with the rhetoric of the former conservative minister Enoch Powell, who in 1968 caused a sensation with a speech on the immigration that remained sadly known for the expression “rivers of blood”. The British premier will continue in the next few hours his tour in the Balkans, in view of the summit of the European political community that will bring together leaders of the Union and of non -members partner countries.
