Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Anti-government protests have taken place in Albania, initially targeting a luxury hotel project in a nature reserve linked to Jared Kushner and the Trump family.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The controversy involves a resort project that is supported by Edi Rama but simultaneously fuels anti-government protests. The project, which utilizes Dutch financial structures, has become a flashpoint for concerns over perceived corruption and government transparency. The political instability surrounding the project challenges the government's economic direction in Albania.

Edi Rama has accused Iran of hybrid war while the resort linked to Jared Kushner is reported in Albania.
