In Tirana, Albania, protests against a luxury construction project linked to U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner have entered their 35th consecutive night. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
On Saturday, July 4, 2026, thousands of people took to the streets in a protest rally in Tirana. Protesters chanted slogans against Kushner's project and held inflatable flamingos. The protests began 35 days ago and have continued every night.
The project involves building a luxury resort in the coastal area of Tirana. Local residents and environmentalists say the project will harm the environment and go against the interests of the local community.
One protester, 32-year-old Erjon Shehu, said: "We demand the project be stopped. It will destroy our coastline and bring no benefit to local people."
Police monitored the protest, and no clashes were reported. Protesters are demonstrating peacefully, demanding the cancellation of the project.
Jared Kushner has not commented on the project. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has supported the project, saying it will attract investment to the country. However, protesters allege the project is linked to corruption schemes.
As the protests enter their 35th night, the number of protesters is growing. They demand the complete cancellation of the project and the protection of the coastal area.
