What happened
Jared Kushner backed a luxury resort project in Albania, which was planned for the Sazan island and the Narta Lagoon area. The government granted the project the status of a “strategic investment”. The plan triggered widespread public demonstrations, known as the Flamingo Revolution, which criticized the project’s lack of transparency and environmental impact.

Why it matters
The government has presented the resort as a significant economic opportunity for Albania. However, the protests reflect broader public frustration with corruption and the concentration of power surrounding foreign investment. The controversy is currently testing the political standing of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
