Clashes at Trump's Albanian resort
Thousands of protesters gathered outside the Albanian Parliament in Tirana to demonstrate against the construction of a luxury resort inside a protected natural reserve along the Adriatic Sea coastline. The government has been accused of damaging maritime and environmental areas and negatively impacting habitats for endangered birds, especially flamingos. The protests escalated into a violent confrontation with security forces, who used tear gas and water cannons, resulting in 15 police officers being injured and 25 demonstrators being detained. The issue dates back to a project promoted by officials, including Ivanka Trump, aimed at attracting upscale tourism, despite opposition from environmental groups and criticism from the government.
