Thousands of locals marched Sunday against a premium resort plan linked to Jared Kushner on land earlier designated as protected. Protesters 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 no major clashes. The administration’s officials have framed the plan as a employment-boosting investment. Opposition figures declared further demonstrations are scheduled this week unless the permit is withdrawn.
