this revolt against the kushner land grab has been going on for weeks with the same level of opposition. it appears that most of albania if not all is against this project;
Thousands of Albanians marched in Tirana Saturday calling for the resignation of the country’s prime minister and protesting a tourism project linked to the Trump family -- the 42nd consecutive night of such demonstrations.
The marchers were also protesting a concert Saturday by controversial US rapper Kanye West, whose antisemitic rhetoric has led to his performances being banned in some European capitals.
Demonstrators waving Albanian flags chanted slogans against both Prime Minister Edi Rama and the rapper, who now styles himself as “Ye”.
Rama met the rapper at his office before the concert, later posting video of the packed event on social media and giving it a five star rating.
It is difficult to assess how many people demonstrate each night in the capital, but according to AFP journalists on the ground, thousands of people protest every day.
Protesters object to the estimated US$4.6-billion luxury hotel development linked to US president Donald Trump’s family because it would go ahead in an environmentally protected area, Zvernec.
They say the project threatens a nearby lagoon on the Adriatic coast critical to migrating birds.
Developers also hope to transform the uninhabited island of Sazan -- once a secret communist military base -- into a tourist destination.............more...........
