Albania's Flamingo Revolution: Protests Against Kushner-Trump Luxury Resort Could Bring Down Gov't

Plans for a luxury resort in an ecologically sensitive area have set off more than a month of protests in Albania, where thousands have taken to the streets to oppose the megaproject backed by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The Flamingo Revolution — named for its feared impact on migratory birds — began as an environmental protest but has now turned into anger at the entire political system, threatening to bring down the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Allow him to take the clothes he's wearing and an extra pair of underwear and fly to Mar-a-Lago where Trump's people will welcome him, or maybe Ivanka has an extra room in one of her houses.

Crashing another fascist regime fueled by greed (a la Hungary) will be Albania's gift to the rational world.
