Nearly two years ago, villagers in Zvërnec wrote a letter to Jared Kushner’s firm pleading with the president’s son-in-law not to develop a $1.4 billion resort on the allegedly stolen land. An Albanian opposition leader has asserted that Prime Minister Edi Rama was “seeking to buy political influence” from Trump by approving his son-in-law’s development plans. “We did not see or hear of any dispute at all,” Asher Abehsera, Sazan Real Estate’s chairman, told the Journal. Albanian protesters are demanding that the planned luxury resort linked to the US president's daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, be stopped. “I find it so inspiring to see how much people really care,” Lipa told Albanian academic and author Lea Ypi on her Service95 Book Club podcast, referring to the weeks-long demonstrations.
