Albanian cardiologist and politician with long leadership tenure
Thousands have been protesting nightly in Tirana and along Albania’s southern coast for more than a month against a multi‑billion‑euro resort project linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Demonstrators have adopted flamingo symbols to oppose work inside the Vjosa‑Narta wetlands and on Sazan island and are demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation amid clashes with police.
Dua Lipa has voiced support for protests in Tirana over Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner–backed development on Sazan and Zvërnec. Protests have entered their sixth week, with critics urging transparency and environmental protections amid government backing of the project.
