Thousands protest Trump-linked resort in Albania's capital

Thousands of demonstrators marched through Albania's capital on Saturday, marking one of the largest protests since demonstrations began nearly three weeks ago. The protests target a resort linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump's family.

Since late May, demonstrators have gathered nightly to voice their opposition to the construction of a luxury hotel. This development is associated with Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner. The planned location for the hotel is a nature reserve situated on the coast of the Balkan nation.

The ongoing protests highlight local resistance to large-scale development projects, particularly those involving international figures and impacting protected natural areas. The demonstrations underscore concerns about environmental preservation and the influence of foreign investment on local landscapes.
