Meloni posts Rama video saying helping Italy is only right

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 10 - Premer Giorgia Meloni on Friday posted a video of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama saying it was only right to help Italy with its migrant issues by allowing Rome to set up processing centres in the eastern Adriatic country.
    Meloni also said Rama had given an effective response to Italian centre-left moves to have the Albanian Socialist leader ejected from the European Socialist and Democrats (PSE) caucus because on the move, seen as a rightwing one.
    "The Italian left is trying to expel the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, from the European Socialist Party over the agreement with Italy on migrants. Listen to his effective response," Meloni wrote on social media, posting the video of an interview in which Rama said: "Perhaps it is not left-wing to be of help to Italy in this way, welcoming a few thousand immigrants, but it is also not right-wing in Albania, because the right in Albania says the same things.
    "So it is not left-wing and it is not right-wing, maybe it is simply right".
    Under the terms of the deal, Italy would set up two or more migrant pre-removal centres in Albania, under Italian jurisdiction, able to process up to 36,000 migrants and refugees a year.
    Leftwing critics have likened the centres to Guantanamo Bay and have compared the move to Australia's now abandoned policy of sending asylum seekers to Papua New Guinea or Britain trying to send migrants to Rwanda, a move so far stymied by the British courts. (ANSA).
