Why is the Flamingo Revolution igniting Albania?
Opposition to a luxury resort has turned into a broader civic protest.
The project is planned in one of Albania’s most ecologically sensitive natural areas.
Protests and citizen opposition to this project are linked not only to the potential harm it may cause to the environment but also to the lack of transparency.
The ownership of the land where the project will be developed raises questions about the involvement of individuals linked to contested property-return processes and document forgery, as well as those with suspected ties to organized crime, according to media reports.
