“Albania Is Not For Sale”: Protests Mount over Proposed Jared Kushner Luxury Development

Protests continue in Albania with thousands of people taking to the streets of the capital Tirana demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama over the development of a massive resort linked to Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law. The multibillion-dollar project would turn an abandoned Soviet weapons base, known as Sazan, into a luxury island resort. Protesters held signs that read “Albania is not for sale.” Sara Bregasi: “The government is corrupted. The opposition is corrupted. They’re in this together. So, we hope we can reach something. It’s the first time that we protest, the protest is at this scale. It’s the first time that no political party is included. So, we are very happy to be here, and we hope we can achieve something.”
