Protest in Albania against work on luxury development linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner
-
"For decades, migration from Albania was largely explained by poverty and the search for survival after the collapse of communism. Today, according to researcher Ilir Gëdeshi, the pattern has changed. Migration is increasingly selective and structural. It affects young people, educated people and skilled professionals in disproportionate numbers.
The reasons are no longer only economic. Young Albanians are leaving because they do not see a future at home. The study points to dissatisfaction with corruption, lack of meritocracy, weak trust in institutions, poor services, inadequate infrastructure and the feeling that success depends more on political connections than on talent or work."

How Ivanka Trump’s plans for a lux resort sparked The Flamingo Revolution
This is a better report than I expected from a major US network (my expectations are low these days).

@Selvari21106 It's hot in Albania, but not as hot as it currently is in France. Yesterday they were out in a heavy thunderstorm still protesting. They're quite committed and inspiring.

@Selvari21106 Boost things (not necessarily mine, although you can). Pressure from Western Europe helps the mass media keep interested in covering the protest, and that's where most of the pressure they can apply right now comes from.

@meganL sure. I have a grand total of four followers so I don't imagine it'll be too helpful but I suppose it can't hurt.

@Selvari21106 Haha, good on ya. Well, if you let others you can persuade know and upvote BBC or other coverage of the story, it helps keep media covering this ongoing story.
They tend to get bored with peaceful protests that don't have dramatic camera-ready escalations for them. But long sustained peaceful protest isn't wimpy, esp in this context.

Kushner-backed luxury resort sparks outrage, dividing Albanian population • FRANCE 24 English
This includes some interview footage from Albanian scientists and environmentalists, who've been carrying this fight for at least 2 years before it erupted generally in late May.

#Albania #Corruption #Balkans #Europe #Democracy #Resistance #FlamingoRevolutionAlbania's "Flamingo revolution": Trump-linked luxury resort plan triggers mass protests
"Protests in Albania entered their fifth week on Saturday, with demonstrations that began in May over a planned luxury resort project linked to the Trump family. Since then, the movement has expanded into a broader criticism of Prime Minister Edi Rama and his government, with protesters raising wider concerns about governance and political accountability. Vladimir Karaj, a journalist and editor at the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, joins us from Tirana for further insights."
