Albania marks 100 days of protests over Kushner-linked tourism project
Protesters in Tirana, Albania, have demonstrated for the hundredth consecutive day in opposition to a luxury tourism project targeting natural and coastal areas of the country, especially Sazan Island and Lake Narta. The project is led by a company linked to Jared Kushner, the former U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law. The protesters oppose government support for the project, suspecting corruption involved, and see it as a threat to the environment and a blow to natural land rights. Meanwhile, the popular movement is calling for a "Flamingo Revolution" demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The project aims to develop Sazan Island—transforming it from an abandoned military site into a luxury resort. Its estimated investment is around 1.4 billion euros, intended to boost tourism and create approximately a thousand jobs. However, criticism is mounting amid environmental and political concerns.
