Protests in Britain, the Albanian professor from London: Unfriendly climate towards immigrants
Over the past few days, Britain has been engulfed in unrest, following violent protests against immigrants and Muslims. Prime Minister Starmer said that all measures are being taken to bring the situation under control. Over 400 people have been arrested so far.
The riots erupted after the stabbing of three girls in the town of Southport and the spread of false information on social media that the perpetrator was a radicalized Muslim immigrant. Authorities said the alleged perpetrator was born in Britain and that his family had moved there from Rwanda.
Speaking for the Voice of America, from London, Prof. Andi Hoxhaj, at the University College of London, said that the situation continues to be tense and that more protests are expected in the coming days. According to him, the rhetoric against immigrants has hardened and the extreme right in the country has tried to strengthen this climate even more. Prof. Hoxhaj said that the spread of fake news about the suspected author came because Britain lacks a clear regulation to prevent fake information and that the government is currently working on a new bill to combat disinformation.
Voice of America: Mr. Hoxhaj, how is the situation today? Has the situation calmed down?
Andi Hoxhaj: The situation is now quite alarming at the moment, it is expected that there will be over 100 protests in the following days in many places where there are immigrant centers and immigrant hotels because the extreme right groups have been very capable of mobilizing all their supporters to add to these protests and to protest against immigrants but also to protest against the new government and most of these messages have been amplified because of social media and what happened in Newport near Liverpool. The context of this is that most of the message is disinformation and the biggest problem was that the author was 17 years old and British law provides that when you are under age you are not allowed to give details and it has allowed the public to be misinformed.
VOA: Anti-immigrant rhetoric appears to have become more widespread in Britain in recent years, and some critics say the trend has contributed to the hardening of far-right supporters and scenes like those seen during the weekend. Whats your opinion?
Andi Hoxhaj: Ekstremi i djathtë ka vazhduar të rritet dhe në zgjedhjet e fundit partitë e ekstremit të djathtë morën gati 4 milionë vota në Britaninë e Madhe, por për shkak të modelit se si ndahen mandatet, ata nuk mund të merrnin më shumë se 4 mandate në parlament. Retorika e tyre ka qenë shumë e ashpër dhe kjo ka qenë një nga ato episode ku ata janë munduar që të mobilizojnë të gjithë ndjekësit e tyre dhe për ta shtuar më tej. Por problemi që qëndron është se qeveria që ishte më përpara, qeveria konservatore për 14 vjet nuk ka patur një strategji që ta luftonte ekstremin e djathtë për shkak se shumë prej tyre, ishin votues të tyre që votuan për BREXIT dhe ajo ka shkuar në këtë spirale ku ne jemi këtu sot.
Aktualisht në Britaninë e Madhe pritet që parlamenti të thirret pavarësisht se ka shkuar me pushime që të bëhet një strategji se si mund të parandalohet sepse problemipër momentin është që çdo gjë është bërë në mënyrë reaktive, që ka ndodhur një problem dhe janë përpjekur për ta zgjidhë dhe një nga mesazhet për momentin është që të thirren mbi 6 mijë policë ekstra që mundet ta parandalojnë (përshkallëzimin e situatës). Por duhet një strategji dhe një debat shumë herë më i gjatë.
Zëri i Amerikës: Zoti Hoxhaj, dhuna nisi për shkak të një lajmi të rreme se autori i dyshuar i sulmit ishte një islamist radikal i cili sapo kishte mbërritur në Britani, lajm i cili u përhap me shpejtësi. Sa shqetësuese është çështja e përhapjes së dezinformimit në vend?
Andi Hoxhaj:Problemi është shumë i madh për arsye që kemi parë që kjo të rritet si prirje që gjatë kohës se BREXIT-it. Që kur ishte fushata e BREXIT që shumë nga mesazhet amplifikoheshin që ishin dezinformues që në shumë raste këto grupet merrnin mesazh dezinformues. Ne po mësojmë gjithashtu, pushtete si Rusia, Irani e kështu me rradhë po i amplifikojnë disa nga këto mesazhe kryesisht në këto grupe on line, por edhe në portale të ndryshme në Britaninë e Madhe dhe ajo duket që është goxha problematike.
Problemi gjithashtu është që ne nuk kemi patur një rregullore të saktë që mundet t’i parandalojë disa nga këto informacione dezinformuese dhe ky ka qenë edhe një nga ato problemet që pse është përhapur në këto masa. Qeveria aktuale është duke diskutuar që të sjellë një projektligj të ri dhe mendoj se ky është një debat që duhet bërë më gjerë. Siç e pamë edhe në samitin e NATO-s që u bë në Uashington, do bëhet një strategji që të gjitha vendet e NATO-s mund të parandalojnë disa nga lajmet dezinformues apo të kemi një strategji të përbashkët sepse duket që po bëhet përherë e më shumë problematike. E vetmja pozitive që është në Britaninë e Madhe në krahasim me vendet e tjera të Bashkimit Europian është që këtu nuk janë një fuqi e madhe politike dhe për momentin janë jo të fuqishëm, që mundet të kenë bllokada, por kjo nuk do të thotë që ne të ardhmen mund të behet akoma edhe më radikal.
VOA: Prime Minister Starmer canceled the plan for illegal immigrants to enter Rwanda and has promised to reduce immigration. How is the climate towards immigrants in general in your country?
Andi Hoxhaj: The climate is not friendly to immigrants, but also to those who preach Islam. But this is because far-right groups, but also the conservative government, many of the problems that have happened here because of BREXIT and because the economy has not been well managed after BREXIT, all the blame has been thrown on immigrants, or it has been thrown at foreigners and this has increased the hatred many times more against immigrants and one of the policies that the Conservative Party has had was to send them back to Rwanda, but it was more of a preventive policy to threaten immigrants with do not come to Great Britain, but the problem is no longer the arrival of immigrants in Great Britain, but how they should be integrated into society, and here there has been a wide debate about the different modalities. I believe one of the problems that needs to be solved in the future is how we can integrate more into society and how we can prevent some of these social conflicts that we are seeing on the streets of Great Britain these days.
