Albania: protests against Kushner’s resort plans

It may have been the Trump clan’s controversial construction project that sparked the protests, but the problems go deeper, Večernji list explains:

“The protests are no longer focused on the resort, but have become an opportunity to protest against corruption, land disputes, powerless institutions and the arrogance of the government. … The anger is particularly visible among young Albanians, for whom Zvërnec is not just a protected stretch of coastline but a symbol of a corrupt system and the privatisation of public space, in the form of fenced off beaches. Banners wielded by the protesters, who have gathered in their tens of thousands, bear the words ‘Albania is not for sale’ or ‘Albania is not Dubai.’”
