Protest in Albania against work on luxury development linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner

meganl@mas.to

A little late, but AP posted footage from July 27, when protestors massed up in the day because Parliament moved forward a session in date, trying to avoid the protestors.

If you look carefully, you can see one of the plainclothes cops they use as agents provocateurs in amongst the uniformed cops. You can tell because while actual protestors are being repelled and/or arrested, this guy in the black polo is embraced by the cops and left his freedom of movement.

The cops were there in force with a water cannon before anything had even started. Every time, it's the cops starting it. The "worst" the protestors have done is throw eggs at corrupt politicians & their luxury cars.

The Albanian people being really impressive rn

@Gurre I agree. It's too bad international media only seem interested if they can focus on the Kushner connection, or if the cops getting violent provides some sensational footage.

Inside Albania's Flamingo Revolution | 7.30

The latest Trump family extravaganza is planned for an unexpected location.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump want to develop Albania's coastline, home to a flamboyance of flamingos.

But for the locals there is nothing funny or exotic in the Trump's proposal.

Massive demonstrations have broken out protesting the development.

ABC Europe correspondent Elias Clure reports. This story was filmed by Che Chorley, produced by Raveen Hunjan and edited by Fred Shaw.

Machine translation: Divjaka against merger with Lushnje, protest on the 8th day, residents against the Socialist Party proposal

"Divjaka kundër shkrirjes me Lushnjen, protesta në ditën e 8-të, banorët kundër propozimit të PS"

I feel this shows how mobilized Albanians are now. There didn't used to be much protest before that wasn't organized by the parties themselves, according to Albanians I've heard. This protest in Divjakë is not specifically about that development in Zvernëc-Narta-Sazan Island, but because authorities are trying to merge one municipality into another, governmentally speaking. Protest has spread to take in all the different issues Albanians are upset with government about.

Machine translation: Residents in Divjaka against unification with Lushnja, burn PS cards: Don't touch our identity!

"Banorët në Divjakë kundër bashkimit me Lushnjën, djegin teserat e PS: Mos na prekni identitetin!"

This is about the state wanting to roll one municipality into a larger one, but to me it's showing a growing willingness of Albanians to join together in public in protest rather than putting up with the status quo.
