A European Coastal Resort Backed by Ivanka and Jared Could Bring Down an Entire Government
Released on 06/26/2026
[Narrator] A proposed multi-billion dollar resort
on the Mediterranean coast backed by Ivanka Trump
and her husband, Jared Kushner,
has become the focal point
of a mass uprising.
For weeks, people in Albania
have been protesting daily
against the planned development
in this Zvernec area over the privatization
of coastal land and the potential damage it could do
to the region's protected coastal wildlife.
Protests this week saw hundreds of thousands
take to the streets of the capital, Tirana,
while there have also been solidarity demonstrations
organized in diaspora communities elsewhere in Europe,
such as Germany, the UK, Switzerland, and Greece.
Demonstrators in the so-called
Flamingo Revolution,
named for one of the species
that inhabits the wetland ecosystem
where the development is situated,
say Albania is not for sale.
They vowed to keep going
until Albania's Prime Minister, Edi Rama, resigns
and legislation they say has enabled unchecked
investment is repealed.
