Albanians Protest Kushner Luxury Resort Plan

200

Hundreds of Albanians have rallied against plans by Jared Kushner's firm to develop Sazan Island into a luxury resort. The project, valued at $1.4 billion, faces backlash after Ivanka Trump described the protected national park as a 'private island' they 'discovered' while swimming there. Albanian authorities have launched an investigation into changes made to the island's conservation status in 2024 that paved the way for tourism development. Protesters, some holding flamingo-shaped cutouts, have demanded that 'Albania is not for sale' since late May.
