A luxury resort project backed by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump has sparked controversy on Albania’s southern coast after construction began near the protected Narta Lagoon. Residents and environmental activists have protested the development, clashing with private security guards. One protester was dragged away by guards while police, despite a heavy presence, did not intervene. Protesters are demanding a halt to construction, transparency over permits and environmental impacts, and an end to what they describe as a “national betrayal” — the privatization of public Albanian land for foreign luxury development.
