The couple also hope to carry out a multibillion-dollar project that includes building hotels along the coast of Zv\u00ebrnec, where wildlife such as flamingos and sea turtles nest.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>There have been widespread concerns that the development project will severely damage the island\u2019s natural landscape and have a significant environmental impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While there have already been three days of protests against the plans in the Albanian capital of Tirana, further demonstrations are also planned in the south of the country, where some groundwork on the project has already begun, The Guardian reported.<\/p>\n<p>The escalation in the protests also comes after opponents of the project rejected an offer from Albania\u2019s Prime Minister Edi Rama to hold crunch talks about the plans, which have been years in the making.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom start to finish there has been a total lack of transparency,\u201d Aleksand\u00ebr Traj\u00e7e, executive director of the country\u2019s leading conservation group, the Protection and Preservation of the Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA), told The Guardian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen no public consultation or public documentation regarding permits, and so now what we are saying is, if they remove the bulldozers, remove the fence and restore the habitats to what they were, then we can start talking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Kushner\u2019s investment firm Affinity Partners sealed a deal to transform the secluded island of Sazan into a luxury resort. In December 2024, just weeks after Trump\u2019s election victory, the Albanian government granted the project \u201cstrategic investor status,\u201d allowing it to unlock fast-track approvals for permits and leases.<\/p>\n<p>Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha said that while he supports the renovation projects, he expressed concerns that Rama could have been \u201cseeking to buy political influence\u201d from Trump by giving the president\u2019s son-in-law\u2019s plans the go-ahead. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=700\">Trump Faces Republican Revolt Over Nepo Baby Pick<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rama, who considers the project vital in turning Albania into a tourist destination, rejected arguments that it will damage the island\u2019s natural and environmental landscape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is absolutely no chance that the investment will stop as long as I am here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Backlash against the plans intensified this week after Ivanka discussed them during an interview on David Serna\u2019s podcast, claiming they want to \u201ctransform\u201d the island of Sazan \u201cbut with a lot of restraint and care because the land is so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were on a friend\u2019s boat, and we stopped for a swim. Effectively, that\u2019s how we found it. We swam to the islands. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way, up to the top. And we were just captivated,\u201d Ivanka added.<\/p>\n<p>The podcast\u2019s social media pages were then flooded with negative comments as they tried to promote Ivanka\u2019s interview. These include ones stating \u201cAlbania is not for sale,\u201d \u201cHands off Albanian soil\u201d and \u201cSazan is not a private island, it belongs to the Albanian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <i>Daily Show <\/i>anchor Michael Kosta also mocked Ivanka and her husband for the multibillion resort plans while Americans are suffering in a cost-of-living crisis exacerbated by Trump\u2019s war with Iran.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAnd for those of you who are thinking, hey, before buying a private island, shouldn\u2019t billionaires maybe read the room? What you don\u2019t understand is, the island doesn\u2019t have rooms yet,\u201d Kosta said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=698\">Trump\u2019s Approval Rating Tanks to a Historic New Low<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted Affinity Partners for comment.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protests that have erupted over Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner\u2019s plans to develop a luxury resort on an Albanian island look set to intensify.
