Trash piled up on the street during the 46th day of protests outside the Prime Minister's Office in Tirana on July 23, 2026, where demonstrators demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Rama. Hundreds of citizens are protesting in Tirana for the 46th consecutive night, demanding transparency regarding a luxury tourism project in the protected Narta Lagoon area—near the city of Vlora—linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, and his wife, Ivanka Trump. The project was planned for two locations along the Adriatic coast: the protected Vjosa-Narta delta area and the uninhabited island of Sazan.
