TIRANA, October 15 – Deputy of the Democratic Party (DP) Dashnor Sula has said that Albanians move to the EU without visas, but the visa regime can be restored after 12 years.
Sula said that in a post on social networks on Saturday accusing Prime Minister Edi Rama of such an eventual possibility.
Visas were lifted for Albanians in December 2010, which has been considered as the second liberation of Albanians.
“But today Albania, which is under the rule of the Socialist government, is in danger of a restoration of the visa regime after 12 years when Albanians expect to be part of the EU,” said Sula, who added that might happen thanks to the direct contribution of Rama.
According to him, from 2014, a year after the current Prime Minister took the power, young men and women began to flock to EU countries and now there are hundreds of thousands of Albanians who have left their country. “They flee because the drug trafficker and the corrupt government are seen as models of success in Albania. The educated do not see the future here.”
In the meantime, as Sula said, the head of the Albanian government blames irresponsibly Great Britain for the second time in a few weeks why Albanians seek asylum in that country.
Rama stated at the Congress of the Party of European Socialists (PES) that the British government has told him to stop the exodus. “But how can the government of Albania bring order to the (English) channel? I do not know. What I know is that we don’t manage anything if we do not deal with the source of the problem,” said Rama.
“So Rama tells the partners to set the visas in order to stop the exodus of Albanians, and this is crazy and takes the country decades back in time,” said the DP deputy. /Argumentum.al
