Worth knowing what's happening there right now: Albanians have protested every single day since late May, when fences went up on the protected flamingo wetland at Zvërnec for a luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner. This week students took the lead and are demanding that Rama resign.
Saturday was their fifth day in a row, with thousands outside the Education Ministry in Tirana. Reuters reports 500 protesters detained so far, 330 of them since released, and 45 protesters and 120 police officially registered as injured.
We track all 140 days with their livestreams, and the site has a chatbot you can ask how a resort deal turned into this: https://www.diaspora-zbarkon.com/en/pulsi

albania today. the protests that started in May against the Trump/ kushner / epstein cartel, that is buying off albania, have escalated, with the students joining and the police becoming violent. Turkish occupation, nazis, oligarchs... at the end its all the same. you either fight it, or you lose your soul, slowly. my people at the end always the fight.
