Albanians tear down construction site in on-going protests over Kushner-backed private island - The Independent



Albanian protesters have torn down a construction site during ongoing demonstrations against a Jared Kushner-backed luxury resort.

Since May, demonstrators have gathered outside the construction site of the multi-billion-euro project linked to Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

They say that plans for the development on Sazan Island and a site at Zvernec, near the coastal city of Vlora, pose a threat to flamingos and other wildlife and eco-systems.

Footage shows protesters, many carrying Albanian flags, toppling containers and tearing down temporary buildings at the site.

Prime Minister Edil Rama is facing calls to resign after backing the development.

And I just hope that jared & ivanka are pleased with the latest construction efforts by their newly hired Albanians on their recently discovered Sazan Island project.
