Flamingo Revolution: Tens of thousands filled Tirana for the 35th straight night of anti-government protests, sparked by anger over a Kushner-linked luxury resort in the protected Zvërnec area and now focused on Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation, with marches, flamingo symbols, and dramatic stunts including a bust being toppled. Courtroom Update: A Tirana court freed 19 protesters detained after violent clashes, with some placed under house arrest and others required to report to judicial police. Rama’s Response: Rama said the protest was “taken over” after an empty coffin display, arguing it was used by political opponents to drag Albania back into old conflicts. Police Oversight: Albania’s ombudsman is reviewing complaints of excessive force against detained protesters, including checks at police facilities and interviews with injured detainees. Wildfire Crisis: Strong winds and fast-moving fires hit southern Albania, threatening olive groves and water-supply areas near Fier, while firefighting teams prepare possible aerial support. Regional Heat & Travel Disruption: Wildfires across southern Europe forced evacuations and threatened the Tour de France stage, as temperatures rise again. Disinformation Claim: Serbian outlet Informer published allegations targeting Albanian journalist Jona Cenameri over the protests; the journalist denies the claims and says she attended as a journalist, not an organizer.
