๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ #Albania: Protests have erupted across Tirana over plans to construct a luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner (son-in-law of Donald Trump, which is married to Ivanka Trump) on Albania's Adriatic coast.

Demonstrators accuse the government of allowing development in protected coastal areas, including the Vjosa-Narta wetlands and nearby Sazan Island. The protests have drawn thousands of people for several consecutive days as construction work has begun at parts of the site despite the ongoing manifestations.
