(5 years ago)Thousands of Albanian immigrants living in the United Kingdom would be willing to work free to help deal with the gasoline crisis. This is what Albania's Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Kyriaco Crick, who said that if the British government wanted, they could be offered drivers [...]
He claims that many of the 150,000 Albanians living in the United Kingdom would work out of gratitude for their British host. Since a significant number are believed to be undocumented, it is impossible to know how many qualified drivers are.
But Carko, who had just spent an hour waiting in line for gasoline without buying, said he believes that many Albanians in Britain have been truck drivers who can help compensate for an estimated 100,000 absence, writes The Guardian, broadcast Klaankosova.tv.
“Albanians are ready to work for the British government to overcome this problem for free. I don't know if they have the right licenses, but if they did, I'm sure everyone here would say "I can help," he said.
Crkko cited NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999 for saving hundreds of Albanians and said: “Albanians in the United Kingdom would work for this country for free because of what this country has done for them... We are forever grateful to the government and the army of this country for what they did for our brothers in Kosovo. ”
Carko called on the British to view Albanians as a fortune and not as a problem, complaining that they are often portrayed as gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers, including by government bodies as the National Crime Agency.
Of course, there are some people from my community who are involved in criminal activities, but why is it so necessary to mention their nationality? Nation has nothing to do with crime. You don't say someone's a homosexual or lesbian criminal, so why do you say there's a “Albanian criminal “ ”? ” he said.
Citing nationality creates a negative perception about the whole community here doing an honest job. Albanians who come here are not criminals. They're people who want a better life. I'm here to walk for my people. They are not criminals, they are workers and honest. ” added Crko.
He denied reports that Albania was negotiating an agreement with the United Kingdom to host immigrants crossing the Channel with small ships.
