Albania's Rama lashes out at 'flamingo' protesters, calling them idiots

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has harshly criticized protesters who are demonstrating against a luxury resort project backed by Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Rama referred to the protesters, whom local media have dubbed 'flamingo' protesters, as idiots. The demonstrations are the largest political protests in Albania's recent history and are directed against the planned development on an unspoiled coastline. The European Union has warned Albania that its handling of the situation could affect the country's path to EU membership. Meanwhile, Iran has denied any involvement in the protests, which have led to accusations of disinformation between Tehran and Tirana. Kosovo's prime minister's party is on track to win a third election in 18 months but will likely need to form a coalition after a year of political instability that has left the country's EU membership application in limbo.
