‘Albania could lose opportunity at EU membership due to Trump’s megalomaniacal project’
The protests in Albania have been going on for more than twenty days. Angry demonstrators have taken to the streets carrying signs featuring flamingos to oppose plans for a so-called Trump resort, but the underlying discontent extends beyond this single project. The planned luxury resorts by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the U.S. president’s daughter and son-in-law, are set to be built in a protected nature reserve known as a habitat for flamingos. The European Union is also viewing the plans with concern: according to Brussels, proceeding with construction could affect Albania’s chances of joining the EU.
