Protests in Tirana have continued for 35 consecutive days, with citizens rallying under the 'Pink Flamingo' movement. The demonstrations began as a response to a luxury real estate project linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump. As public concern grew, the movement expanded beyond environmental issues to demand systemic political change. Protesters are now calling for Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation and the creation of a temporary government. They also seek major constitutional reforms aimed at curbing corruption and increasing transparency in governance.
The unrest reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the current administration and its handling of foreign investments. Demonstrators argue that certain development deals undermine national sovereignty and favor elite interests. Despite no official changes yet, the scale and persistence of the protests indicate deepening public distrust. The situation remains active, with regular gatherings drawing thousands across the capital. The movement has united diverse groups under a shared demand for accountability and institutional reform.
