In Albania, Trump's son-in-law's hotel construction project was demolished – video

Protesters in Albania ransacked the construction site of a future luxury resort complex in the coastal region in the south of the country. Outrage over large-scale projects to build luxury resorts—including one financially backed by Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner—has sparked mass protests. 

 Local residents and activists are demanding that the government halt the construction of hotel complexes along the coast and within protected areas. According to the protesters, implementing these plans without proper public consultation is destroying the ecosystem and leading to the illegal appropriation of coastal lands.

CBS News reported on the unrest and public discontent over the environmental consequences of the investment plan.

In Albania, anti-corruption prosecutors have launched an investigation into a large-scale project to build a luxury tourist resort. The initiative is linked to the investment firm Affinity Partners, headed by Jared Kushner — the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump. Law enforcement officials are investigating possible violations during the project’s planning and implementation.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that the country is prepared to agree even to a temporary restriction on the right of national veto if this helps accelerate its accession to the European Union.
