London is considering paying TikTok influencers to deter illegal immigration candidates. According to British media, this project targets Albania, Iraq or Egypt.
Influencers should encourage their fans to stay in their country, and remind people of the risks incurred by crossing the Channel illegally. The Ministry of the Interior would devote a total budget of 30,000 pounds, or 35,000 euros, to the remuneration of Albanian influencers. The maximum amount per person would be capped at 5,800 euros.
