Flamingo Revolution protesters
VS
Resort developers
The Flamingo Revolution protesters are local residents and environmental activists in Albania opposing a planned luxury resort development.
The resort project is backed by Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, and is slated for a nature reserve in the Vlore area.
Protesters have been holding ongoing demonstrations, with thousands participating in a 63rd day of protests, and have torn down a fence at the site.
They object not only to the development itself but also to what they describe as a corrupt and opaque process involving the developers and authorities.
The conflict centers on the proposed construction of a tourist resort, which activists say threatens the local environment and community.
The developers have already built an access road and brought in heavy earth-moving equipment, escalating tensions.
The protesters demand that the project be halted, while the developers and authorities backing the project continue to move forward, leading to sustained protests and clashes over the use of the land.
