Kushner-backed luxury resort sparks outrage, dividing Albanian population

In Albania, a widespread protest movement is underway against the current government. The demonstrations erupted after construction began on a luxury resort in a nature reserve in the southwest of the country.

The real estate project is spearheaded by Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and his wife Ivanka. Environmental activists have rejected the prospect of construction in the reserve, home to flamingos and other wildlife, while others see job and economic opportunities.
