At the beginning of May, a barbed-wire fence was erected in the Vjosa-Narta Protected Landscape in Zv\u00ebrnec, restricting access to one of the most treasured natural coastlines and one of the Mediterranean\u2019s last untouched coastal ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>Activists, residents, and members of the Levizja Bashk\u00eb\u00a0political party gathered to protest the fences, and after security guards violently dragged a demonstrator through the property, more protests erupted and the story went global.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=775\">The Anti-Immigrant Supreme Court<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Vjosa-Narta Protected Landscape is home to flamingos, pelicans, migratory birds, and hundreds of protected species. It includes lagoons, wetlands, and habitats of exceptional ecological value. And it is one of many protected nature zones now at dire risk of destruction.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2024, led by Prime Minister Edi Rama of the center-left Socialist Party, Albania\u2019s parliament passed Law 21\/2024, which allows the National Territory Council to grant permits for luxury tourist resorts anywhere in the country, even inprotected landscapes. Three days later, Kushner went public with plans to create two luxury developments in the region, including a resort on Sazan, a protected nature zone and one of Albania\u2019s only major islands.<\/p>\n<p>Javanka\u2019s vision includes up to 10,000 \u201cunits of villas,\u201d priced far beyond what most Albanians can afford, to be built in an area where many locals lack access to 24-7 running water. Albania, which has set a goal of 2030 for admission to the European Union, is obligated to repeal Law 21\/2024, which clashes with EU conservation standards, but so far has failed to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing protest movement set off by the Kushner projects, has turned into something much larger, with youth chanting <em>\u201c\u00c7ohuni nga kafja! <\/em>(Get up from the cafes!)\u201d each night as they flood the streets of Tirana,Albania\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=772\">They Found Tom Kean Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their vision of swank resorts in protected areas set off a \u201cFlamingo Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
