Kushner-backed luxury resort sparks outrage, dividing Albanian population
France 24 [en]
In Albania, a widespread protest movement is underway against the current government. The demonstrations erupted after construction began on a luxury resort in a nature reserve in the southwest of the country. The real estate project is spearheaded by Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and his wife Ivanka. Environmental activists have rejected the prospect of construction in the reserve, home to flamingos and other wildlife, while others see job and economic opportunities. FRANCE 24's David Gilberg reports with Lauren Bain.
