Thousands of locals marched Sunday against a luxury resort plan linked to Jared Kushner on land previously designated as protected. Demonstrators filled streets in Tirana and other cities, waving signs that called on Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign due to the chosen site inside a formerly protected coastal area.
Protest coordinators argued the permit bypassed environmental reviews. Authorities reported minimal clashes. The administration’s officials have framed the plan as a work-generating investment. Opposition figures declared further protests are scheduled this week unless the permit is withdrawn.
