FIProtesters in Albania are opposing plans to build a luxury hotel on a nature reserve area used by wildlife such as flamingos for breeding. The demonstrations, which began in early June and have continued for 35 consecutive days, reached record numbers on Saturday with hundreds of thousands participating. The project, backed by US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, has become a symbol of corruption allegations against the government.

On Thursday, protesters gathered outside the parliament building, leading to police using tear gas, pepper spray, and batons to disperse the crowd, which threw eggs, stones, and other objects.
