Thousands of protesters marched through Tirana on Saturday in one of the largest demonstrations held since rallies against a planned resort began nearly three weeks ago. The protest targeted a development project whose reported connection to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump has drawn sustained public opposition.
Organizers described the turnout as among the biggest since the demonstrations started. The rallies have continued for almost three weeks without reported incidents of violence. Local authorities have not issued an official statement on the size of the crowd or any planned response.
The resort proposal has been the focus of repeated public gatherings in the capital. Demonstrators have cited concerns over the project's reported ties to the Trump family. No construction timeline or government approval status has been detailed in public records released so far.
