Thousands of Albanians have protested for four consecutive days against a proposed €4 billion ($4.7 billion) luxury resort linked to Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, on Sazan Island and the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal wetlands.
"It's an unbelievable, beautiful, 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean," Ivanka said in conversation with David Senra.
"We swam to the island, we went on a hike, barefoot all the way up to the top, and we were just captivated."
Protesters gathered in Tirana under the slogan "Albania is not for sale," reported Anadolu Agency, and chanted "Thieves!" Protesters also called for Prime Minister Edi Rama's arrest.
Police deployed water cannons against crowds that included children, according to Tirana Report on X.
One protester said, "All the blood, sweat, and tears that our people and ancestors have fought for is being sold by a leader who has betrayed us."
Albania's Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutors opened a formal investigation into the project this week, reported Newsweek, reflecting widespread concerns about environmental damage and government corruption.
