Albania’s ‘Flamingo Revolution’ Explained

Protesters in Albania have organized a sustained movement, dubbed the 'Flamingo Revolution,' against a large-scale, high-end luxury resort project backed by Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The project involves massive development on protected coastal land, which has raised serious concerns regarding environmental impact, corrupt land-sale practices, and the government's prioritization of high-end tourism over ecological preservation. While Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama defends the investment as vital for economic growth and EU integration, independent anti-corruption bodies have initiated an investigation into the project's legislative and ownership aspects.
