Why Ivanka Trump's island has sparked mass protest in Albania | The Global Story
BBC is interviewing a reporter who was based in Istanbul who came in to cover Albania.
But the Albanians who've been fighting this resort for years and Albanian journalists (the ones fighting the oligarchical control of media here) should be platformed, IMO.

“Policia është e jona,jo e Ramës”/Pamjet kur policia pengoi marshimin e protestuesve te aeroporti
Just raw footage. Only the title gives context "The police are ours, not Rama's (the prime minister). Videos of when the police prevented the protesters' march to the airport"

For the first time since protests started in Tirana, I cannot find a livestream of it on YouTube.
Looking at the Albania sub-Reddit, there are indications that a protest was planned as usual for tonight (in that a graphic was circulated with the details), but the two channels I have been able to rely on for livecasts are not posting any. And it is 45 minutes past what the normal start time would be.
EDIT: rumor of crackdown, arrests

I'll keep looking for reporting from a reputable source, but I saw a FB post from a lawyer offering defense to protestors who've been arrested.
For those outside #Albania who'd like to help, watch/like DW's, Al Jazeera's, etc coverage of the #protest to incentivize them to keep covering the #FlamingoRevolution. And if you're in a position to communicate more immediately with them, ask them to follow up on why we're not seeing live coverage of the protest tonight, whether there were arrests, etc

On the 19th day, the protest goes to Parliament
"Hundreds of protesters today decided to change their protest route to march towards Parliament, where the next session was being held. During the march, citizens encountered MPs who were leaving.
Under the calls for revolution, they accused majority MPs like Blendi Çuçi or Mirela Kumbaro, who had just left Parliament, of corruption."

Tirana, Albania - 14 June 2026
- SOUNDBITE (English) Marilda Ledi, protester:
"None of the Albanian youngsters that are protesting here are against the development, (they) are against corruptive development and development that exploits natural environment and everything else."
- SOUNDBITE (English) Ardesian Binjakaj, protester:
"I came here to protest because we are currently facing a very corrupt government who is doing a lot of things against their own people. They're doing everything they can in their power to suppress us as protesters. They're doing everything they can in order to pocket and increase their earnings while the average citizen is out here suffering for basic needs, such as water, healthcare, and a lot more."
-. Mid of protesters chanting UPSOUND "Rama step down"

"The largest anti-government protest in Albania / Motorcade with hundreds of protesters from the diaspora"
Too bad it was a car protest, though. I guess it makes it harder for authorities to charge them with "blocking traffic" than charging pedestrians and cyclists.
