Through a statement for the German newspaper Bild, PM Rama criticized the recent declarations of the German Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, who has suggested that half of all COVID-19 infections in his country last summer, could be traced back to family visits by migrants in the Balkans.
“It is a scandal that a German minister publicly denounces the Balkans and thus also devalues people with a migration background,” told PM Rama to the Bild newspaper.
Rama has continued by saying that he won’t allow that Albania be portrayed as a risk zone for the summer season because according to him, the numbers say a different story.
“A German health minister should take care of vaccinating the German population and not create “stereotypical resentment against the Balkans in order to defend an obviously bad record”, added Rama.
