For 100 days, activists in Albania have maintained a continuous protest movement, colloquially dubbed the 'Flamingo Revolution,' to oppose the construction of a luxury resort. The project has drawn significant public attention due to its reported ties to Jared Kushner, the former U.S. presidential advisor and son-in-law of Donald Trump.

The demonstrators argue that the development threatens local environmental stability and public access to coastal land. While the movement has sustained daily activity for over three months, the specific demands of the protesters and the current status of the government's approval process remain points of ongoing public debate. Proponents of the project, including potential investors and some local officials, have previously suggested that such developments are necessary for boosting Albania’s tourism economy and creating jobs. However, the protesters maintain that the environmental and social costs of the resort outweigh these economic benefits. As the protest reaches this 100-day milestone, the tension between development interests and environmental preservation continues to be a central issue in the region.
