In a recent article published on Albanian media titled "Mr. Gove: Queen of England Anne Boleyn was of Albanian origin, don't be afraid of Albanians", the writer Pirro Prifti reacts over the declarations made recently by the British Minister of Justice, who among other things said that if Albania joins EU the Albanian criminal groups will increase in England.
Thus, Prifti makes a detailed analysis of the situation and argues that Gove's declarations are not well-based.
Through the analysis, he reminds Michael Gove that the Queen of England, Anne Boleyn, was of Albanian origin and suggested that he free himself from these baseless nightmares.
In the section about the origin of Anne Boleyn, he writes:
It is a well-known fact that Anne Boleyn 1501- 19 May 1536 became Queen after marriage as the second wife of King Henry VIII and reigned from 1533 to 1536; also she was the Marquise of Pembroke. Her very controversial history remains one of the most dramatic of England, although British historians say she was from Italy, it is a fact that her Arber family of Bolena, Vlore, went to Italy after the death of Gjergj Kastrioti - Skanderbeg.
