Protests over European island resort linked Trump’s son-in-law

Thousands of Albanians protested in Tirana against a €1.4 billion resort development linked to Jared Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners.
The proposed resort is planned for an environmentally sensitive area off Albania’s Adriatic coast, near the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape, which is home to diverse wildlife.
Environmentalists and protesters argue the development would destroy hundreds of hectares of pristine beaches and significantly impact the region’s ecosystem.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama defended the project, stating that the investment would not be halted and that Albania should remain welcoming to investors.
This project follows a similar one in Serbia, which Kushner abandoned last year after public protests against the development.
