Thousands Rally in Albania in Largest Protest yet Against Kushner Resort
Protesters say the $5.8 billion plan would damage protected wetlands and wildlife as Albania’s anti-corruption agency opens a probe, officials said.
- On June 11, thousands gathered in Tirana for the twelfth consecutive day of the 'Flamingo Revolution,' protesting a proposed luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump.
- Protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who backs the project, citing environmental concerns about protected bird habitats within the Vjosa-Narta landscape.
- Demonstrators use satirical placards to criticize Rama and Ivanka Trump, with slogans including 'When students rise up, the state trembles' to mock political figures and expose government absurdities.
- Albania's state anti-corruption agency has opened an investigation into the development, while Rama dismissed the satirical 'meme-mania' despite mounting pressure to cancel the project.
- Environmental groups warn construction could damage sensitive ecosystems on Sazan island, as Albanian media freedom activist Blerjana Bino argues the protests signal growing demands for government accountability.
