Thousands of Albanians demonstrated in Tirana, marking the largest protest to date against a planned luxury resort backed by the Kushner family. Demonstrators voiced opposition to the project, chanting slogans such as “Albania is not for sale.” The resort, planned for the coastal area of Dhërmi, has drawn criticism over concerns about its potential environmental impact and the granting of special concessions to developers. Protesters allege a lack of transparency surrounding the deal and fear it will displace local communities and damage the coastline. The Kushner family’s involvement, through Kushner Companies, has further fueled controversy due to perceived conflicts of interest. The Albanian government maintains the project will bring economic benefits and adhere to environmental regulations. Further protests are anticipated as opposition to the resort continues to grow.
