we support flamingo revolution!
On 23 May 2026, protests began in the Albanian village of Zvërnec, near the Narta Lagoon, against preparatory works for a proposed luxury resort on Sazan Island and the nearby coast. After a protester was assaulted during a demonstration on 30 May, the protests spread to Tirana, other parts of Albania, and diaspora communities abroad. The protests expanded from opposition to the resort into broader criticism of Albania’s political system, the Rama IV Government, corruption, and state capture, with demonstrators calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Generation Z protesters have played a prominent role in the movement.
