There are significant protests in Albania right now against a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
What’s happening:Thousands of Albanians have been protesting in Tirana and near the project site in southern Albania (Zvërnec peninsula and Sazan Island).
The protests are against a $1.4 billion luxury eco-resort development backed by Jared Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners.
Protesters are concerned about environmental damage to protected wetlands, wildlife (flamingos, sea turtles, seals), and opaque government approvals.
Some demonstrations have turned confrontational, with clashes involving private security guards.
It’s not a full nationwide uprising, but it’s a major and growing protest movement focused on this specific Trump-family-linked project.
