Big riot outside the Albanian parliament over Trump son-in-law's project

Albanian police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters who threw eggs and bottles at them during a demonstration outside the parliament building. The protests, which have been ongoing for nearly two months in Tirana, are against plans by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, to build a multi-billion-dollar tourist complex along Albania's coast. Protesters claim the project threatens protected nature areas and accuse the government of corruption. They call their movement the 'flamingo revolution,' referencing the birds that live in the wetlands where the development is planned. Prime Minister Edi Rama supports the project and claims the protests are artificially organized by his political opponents. Reuters reported that a Miami businessman involved in selling land for the project is under investigation for allegedly forging property documents and money laundering, though he denies the charges.
