Jun 5, 2026 | Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Tirana, Albania, opposing a €1.4 billion ($1.6 billion) luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner's investment firm. Demonstrators accused Prime Minister Edi Rama of allowing development in the environmentally sensitive Zvernec-Narta Lagoon, home to thousands of flamingos and other protected wildlife.
