On Saturday, protesters took to the streets of Tirana as part of protests that began in late May to oppose the construction of a luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.
The protests, which have entered their 105th day, have transformed into a broader anti-government movement, which is demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
The Albanian government argues that the planned investment along the coast would represent a transformative project for the country, helping to develop high-end tourism and supporting Albania's aspirations for membership in the European Union.
However, the project, which includes an abandoned island and an adjacent coastal area, has drawn strong criticism from environmental activists, civil society groups and opponents of Rama's socialist government.
Protesters have continued to gather in the streets of Tirana, as opposition to the project has been intertwined with broader dissatisfaction with the government and Prime Minister Edi Rama. Protesters are demanding the resignation of the head of government.
