AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoMass Protests in Tirana: Tens of thousands filled central Tirana for the 21st straight day, demanding PM Edi Rama’s resignation over corruption claims and the Kushner-linked luxury resort plan near protected coastal areas; protesters waved Albanian and US flags, projected “Albania is not for sale,” and said they’ll stay until Rama goes. Rama Pushes Back: Rama insists the resort will go ahead and blames social media and “algorithm” dynamics for turning local anger into a wider “imaginary revolution,” while also posting influencer footage to contrast “working people” with the online crowd. Diaspora at the Center: Rama criticized Albanians from Kosovo and North Macedonia for joining the protests, arguing they’re not “diaspora,” and urged that Albin Kurti not be linked to events in Tirana. Foreign Ministry Condemns Israel Flag Incident: Albania’s foreign ministry condemned masked protesters who removed and desecrated the Israeli embassy flag, calling it hatred and intolerance. Local Land Access Clash: In Kakome, protesters dismantled a long-standing barrier over property access rights, underscoring ongoing disputes beyond the resort controversy. Green Jobs Push: EU/GIZ-backed projects in Albania are helping cut waste and create green jobs, including turning farm waste into compost and expanding refill schemes.
