‘Albania could lose opportunity at EU membership due to Trump’s megalomaniacal project’
Protests in Albania have been ongoing for more than twenty days. Angry demonstrators have taken to the streets carrying signs featuring flamingos to oppose plans for a so-called Trump resort, but the underlying discontent extends beyond this single project. The planned luxury resorts by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the daughter and son-in-law of the U.S. president, would be built in a protected nature reserve known as a habitat for flamingos. The European Union is also viewing the plans with concern: according to Brussels, proceeding with construction could affect Albania’s chances of joining the EU.
