Albanian protests against Jared Kushner-backed mega-resort on Sazan island escalate into broader anti-government dissent

Summary

A protest movement in Albania has emerged against plans by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump to build luxury mega-resorts on the pristine island of Sazan and other parts of the southern coast. For locals like Ina Shkurti, the island holds deep personal and cultural significance. The opposition has grown beyond environmental concerns into a broader wave of dissent against the Albanian government and political establishment, reflecting public frustration with corruption, lack of transparency, and the prioritization of foreign investment over local heritage and environmental protection.
