贾里德·库什纳资助的豪华度假村引发阿尔巴尼亚连日抗议

阿尔巴尼亚地拉那电—— 周六,示威者连续第七天举行集会,抗议阿尔巴尼亚一处与贾里德·库什纳和伊万卡·特朗普有关的价值10亿美元的度假村开发项目。

活动人士将这场抗议称为“火烈鸟革命”,他们以粉色火烈鸟作为象征,称如果该项目获批,当地野生动物将遭到破坏。

作为特朗普总统的女婿,库什纳是投资者团队的成员之一,该团队计划将萨赞岛——这座曾是阿尔巴尼亚亚得里亚海沿岸一处秘密共产主义军事基地——改造为豪华旅游目的地。投资者还计划在维约萨-纳尔塔保护区的周边区域兴建酒店,环保人士称该区域拥有丰富的野生动物资源,包括火烈鸟栖息地。

特朗普的长女伊万卡·特朗普上月在接受“创始人”播客采访时,提到了她和丈夫的豪华度假村计划。

“我正和丈夫在地中海地区推进一个很棒的项目,”她说,随后提到她和库什纳是在和朋友乘船航行时“发现”了这座岛屿。

“我们游泳登岛,一路徒步到山顶,全程赤脚,我们完全被迷住了,”她说。

上月挖掘机和推土机开进工地后,愤怒情绪急剧升级。一名活动人士被从开发区域拖走的视频在网上疯传,进一步加剧了公众的反对声浪。

自那以来,每晚都有数千人在该国首都街头游行。活动人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,阿尔巴尼亚政府在该项目以及与所谓腐败相关的 broader 问题上缺乏透明度,是公众愤怒的核心原因。

“完全没有进行任何公众咨询,”阿尔巴尼亚领先的环保组织“阿尔巴尼亚自然环境保护与保护”的执行主任亚历山大·特亚切周五对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示。“没有人被提前告知。就在某一天,我们看到推土机开进来,开始修路、砍树、破坏沙丘等等。公众对此一无所知。”

“过了一段时间,政府宣称显然已经拿到了开发许可,但实际上没人见过这份文件,他们也没有将开发许可公之于众,”他说。

自去年年底针对拉马总理的亲密盟友、副总理贝琳达·巴卢库的指控提起以来,拉马领导的社会主义政府就陷入了腐败丑闻。然而,由社会主义政党占多数的该国议会阻止了对她的逮捕。

据当地媒体报道,本周早些时候,阿尔巴尼亚反腐败检察办公室SPAK对该项目展开了调查。

自2013年起担任阿尔巴尼亚总理的埃迪·拉马坚称,尽管公众压力越来越大,该项目仍将推进,并将其吹捧为该国的潜在经济福音——该国的人均GDP增长率在欧洲处于较低水平。

“保持开放、保持公平至关重要,无论如何我们都不能背负‘投资者会遭到敌意对待’的国家污名,”他在发给路透社的一份声明中说道。“只要我还在任,这项投资绝对不会停止。”

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻周六陪同示威者前往阿尔巴尼亚南部海岸的兹夫尔内茨地区,该区域正是部分规划开发项目的所在地。除了海滩上的轮胎痕迹外,该区域几乎看不到推土机或建筑设备的踪迹。

示威者将此归因于阿尔巴尼亚政府为平息公众对该项目的愤怒所做的努力,但他们也告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,开发的规划阶段已经造成了环境破坏。

PPNEA的一名当地环保官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,该团队已经查明,推土机活动导致该区域至少一个海龟巢穴遭到破坏。

开发公司萨赞房地产开发有限责任公司及其包括库什纳在内的投资者的一名代表告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,该公司“对打造世界级目的地、进行该地区历史上规模最大的私人投资之一的机会感到兴奋”。

“我们的重点始终是负责任的管理、环境改善、创造就业机会,并为当地社区创造长期价值。我们尊重正在进行的公众和机构程序,并准备好随着程序推进而继续前进,”该公司首席执行官阿舍·阿贝赫塞拉周五在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中说道。

但阿尔巴尼亚的抗议者仍在拒绝这项计划。

“不是我不希望这个国家发展壮大、闻名世界,也不是我不希望有大量游客前来,”周五晚上在底拉那的一名年轻女子对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻说道。

“但这个地方不是最佳选择,因为它属于联合国教科文组织保护区域,我不希望火烈鸟和其他任何动物的家园遭到破坏,”她说。

Jared Kushner-backed luxury resort stokes days of protests in Albania

TIRANA, Albania— Demonstrators rallied against a billion-dollar resort development in Albania linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump for a seventh consecutive day on Saturday.

Activists have dubbed it the “Flamingo Revolution,” adopting the pink flamingo as a symbol of the wildlife they say will be destroyed if the project goes ahead.

President Trump’s son-in-law is among a group investors planning to transform Sazan Island — once a secret communist military base off Albania’s Adriatic coast — into a luxury tourist destination. Hotels are also planned by the investors in surrounding areas in the Vjosa-Narta protected zone, which environmentalists say is rich with wildlife, including flamingo habitats.

Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of Mr. Trump, referenced her and her husband’s plans for the luxury resort while speaking to the “Founders” podcast last month.

“I’m working on an incredible project with my husband in the Mediterranean,” she said, before mentioning she and Kushner had “discovered” the island while sailing with friends.

“We swam to the island, we went on a hike, barefoot all the way up to the top, and we were just captivated,” she said.

Anger escalated sharply last month when excavators and bulldozers moved onto the site. Footage of an activist being dragged away from the development went viral, further inflaming public opposition.

Thousands have taken to the streets in the country’s capital every night since the incident and activists have told CBS News that a lack of transparency from the Albanian government — both over this project and wider issues related to alleged corruption — are central to the public outrage.

“There was no public consultation whatsoever,” Aleksandr Trajce, executive director of the country’s leading conservation group, the Protection and Preservation of the Natural Environment in Albania, told CBS News on Friday. “There was nobody who was informed. Just one day, we saw bulldozers entering outside, opening up roads, cutting trees, destroying the dunes, and so on. So the public knew nothing.”

“The government, after some time, they declared that there is apparently a development permit, but actually nobody has seen it, and they have not made that development permit public,” he said.

Rama’s socialist administration has been embroiled in a corruption scandal since charges were filed late last year against Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, a close ally of Rama. The country’s parliament, led by a socialist majority, has blocked her arrest, however.

Earlier this week, SPAK, Albania’s anti-corruption prosecution office, opened an investigation into the project, according to local media reporting.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has led the country since 2013, has insisted the project will go ahead despite rising public pressure and has championed the development as a potential economic boon for the country, which has one of the lowest rates of GDP per capita in Europe.

“It is very important that we remain welcoming, that we remain fair, and that under no circumstances do we receive the stigma of being ⁠a country where investors are met with hostility,” he said in a statement shared with Reuters.”There is absolutely no chance that the investment will stop as long as I am here.”

CBS News travelled with protesters Saturday to the Zvërnec area on Albania’s southern coast, where some of the planned development is located. There was little trace of bulldozers or building equipment left in the area beyond tire tracks along the beach.

Demonstrators attributed that to an effort by the Albanian government to quell public anger over the project but also told CBS News the planning stages of the development had already caused environmental damage.

A local environmental officer for the PPNEA told CBS News that the group had been able to map the destruction of at least one sea turtle nest in the area due to the bulldozers.

A representative for the development company Sazan Real Estate Development LLC and its investors, including Kushner, told CBS News the company was “excited about the opportunity to create a world-class destination and make one of the largest private investments in the region’s history.”

“Our focus remains on responsible stewardship, environmental enhancement, job creation, and creating long-term value for local communities. We respect the ongoing public and institutional processes, and we stand ready to move forward as they unfold,” the company’s CEO, Asher Abehsera, said in a statement to CBS News on Friday.

But protesters in Albania continue to reject the plans.

“It’s not that I don’t want this country to be grown and to be known worldwide, and to have a lot of tourists,” one young woman told CBS News in Tirana on Friday evening.

“But it’s not the best place because that place is part of UNESCO and I don’t want the flamingos and any kind of animals to be destroyed from their homes,” she said.
