Massive protests have erupted in Albania over a luxury resort associated with Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The demonstrations are described as among the largest the country has ever seen.

Protesters have voiced opposition to the project, which is seen as a symbol of foreign influence and raises concerns about environmental and social impacts. The resort, located in a scenic coastal area, has drawn attention from local residents and activists alike.

The exact reasons and demands of the protests remain undisclosed, but the events highlight growing tensions over large-scale tourism development in the country. The future of the project and its potential effect on Albania's political landscape remain uncertain.
