Albania's "Flamingo revolution": Trump-linked luxury resort plan triggers mass protests

"Protests in Albania entered their fifth week on Saturday, with demonstrations that began in May over a planned luxury resort project linked to the Trump family. Since then, the movement has expanded into a broader criticism of Prime Minister Edi Rama and his government, with protesters raising wider concerns about governance and political accountability. Vladimir Karaj, a journalist and editor at the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, joins us from Tirana for further insights."

“Lironi çunat!”/ Protestuesit marrin vendimin: Protesta e orës 19:00 do të nisë që tani!

Machine translation:""Free the kids!"/ Protesters make the decision: The 7:00 PM protest will start now!"

3 protestors were apparently arrested earlier today and news reporters are gathered around the police station while MPs from the Mundësia Party are trying to find out which police station they've been taken to. More on the Mundësia Party here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_Party_(Albania)

(The MPs come out and say 6 were arrested and two each were taken to 3 different police stations.)

"Ne u dhamë ujë për të pirë, ata na dhunuan”, protestuesi: Policia tentoi të na provokojë!"

GT keeps translating 'dhunuan' as 'rape', but I'm guessing assault is a better translation.

According to one of the speakers, they were able to pressure the release of the arrested protestors.

One advantage of a video like this is because it's not live, you can use machine-translated craptions on it to get the gist.

Protesters demand that SPAK investigate Rama/Activist submits “Albanian Files” to the Prosecutor's Office

Protestors say that peaceful protestors were assaulted by state police yesterday, arrested and separated to 3 different police stations. MPs from the Mundësia Party went to find out where they were and to press for their release. Protestors at that time said they would meet at SPAK, which is an Albanian state anti-corruption investigation unit, to demand that an investigation be launched. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Structure_against_Corruption_and_Organized_Crime

I think not everyone believes they'll actually do impartial investigation & enforcement, but folks are observing the de jure process.

The protestor/spokesperson at the mic was asked what organization they've done since they're calling for Rama's resignation and a transitional government. What do they intend for this transitional government? Are the intellectuals supportive, have the called on the expertise of intellectuals?

She had good answers for their strategic communications needs at this time, I think.

They are also continuing the protest at 7pm as usual (people start gathering at the square around 6pm). It's the 32nd day of protests.

"Ivanka Trump’s hotel project sparks mass protests: "Albania is not for sale" | kulturzeit"

Report in German. This is a good report.

Noteworthy for interviewing a wheelchair-using Albanian. There have been disabled people protesting as well. It's a very diverse protest with diverse issues and politics. The corrupt fast tracking of development of public land by Kushner, et al is really just a match that lit the powderkeg. The fuel has been stacking up for a while. Protestors want the prime minister to resign, all corrupt government members to resign, for there to be a temporary caretaker government while the Albanian People decide how they want democracy to be structured. They want accountability.

From the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" department comes the revelation that the company hired by Trump to suppress the algae in the Washingtin, DC, reflecting pool is named, "Greenwater Services."
Yes, it's owned by a trust controlled by a Trump crony.
Yes, that crony has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump, and is a neighbor of Trump's
Yes, it was hired with a no-bid contract.
Yes, its algae solution is stripping the $17-million new no-bid paint job from the bottom of the pool.
The thing this pool is reflecting best is the corruption of the Trump regime.
This could only be more perfect if there were a Jeffrey Epstein connection.

A quotation from Andrew Oliver

Politics is the most hazardous of all professions. There is not another in which a man can hope to do so much good to his fellow creatures; neither is there any in which by a mere loss of nerve he may do such widespread harm. Nor is there another in which he may so easily lose his own soul; nor is there another in which a positive and strict veracity is so difficult. But danger is the inseparable companion of honor. With all the temptations and degradations that beset it, politics is still the noblest career any man can choose.

Andrew Oliver (1706-1774) American Colonial merchant, politician, government official
Speech (1774?)

And that commercial ecosystem as we have established is controlled by the same corporations paying a half a million dollars a year for board seats at the Linux Foundation. ... The message ... enforce the GPL, lose your friends ... violate it openly ... get a seat on the board ... The GPL is not dead but its enforcement mechanism has been systematically dismantled by the very organization that claims to steward it."

Linux Foundation has squelched the voice of the lay contributors and now corporations control the decision-making process.

Now that your contributions to GPL'd free software have created mega-millionaires and billionaires ... those same rich fat cats that profited from your free code now want to keep you from sharing your own free code or profiting from it while they violate the software license to cash in. They promote ideology campaigns employing useful idiots and ideological parrots to insulate themselves from criticism and hold themselves above reproach from the people they are exploiting to build their tech empire. The Linux Foundation has joined the empire.
