Tuesday’s march came as parliament resumed following summer recess and one day after the demonstrations marked their 100th day. Demonstrators challenged a police cordon in the centre of the capital, pelting officers in riot gear with eggs and tomatoes.

Since late May, angry Albanians have rallied against the planned construction of a vast luxury hotel in a coastal nature reserve, a project linked to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner.

Carros que transportavam legisladores para o prédio do parlamento foram confrontados pelas multidões e atingidos por garrafas plásticas de água antes que a polícia intervinha para deixá-los passar.

Dubbed the “flamingo revolution” for protesters’ signs depicting the pink bird that could be harmed by the coastal development, the antigovernment protests have rocked Albania.

Preliminary work has already caused irreparable damage to a once-pristine stretch of Albania’s coast, destroying the nesting sites of both birds and loggerhead turtles, which are threatened with extinction, scientists and activists say.

Although Albanian officials have avoided giving details of Kushner’s role in the project, Ivanka Trump has spoken about her family’s involvement in the venture, describing it as an “incredible project”.

Critics say the project would also limit public access to the coast.

As protestas noturnas em Tirana inicialmente focavam apenas no desenvolvimento, mas desde então cresceram para se tornar um grande desafio ao Partido Socialista que governa há muito tempo no país.

O Primeiro-Ministro Edi Rama, alvo das manifestações, apoia fortemente o projeto de investimento, argumentando que ele ajudaria a modernizar um país que passou décadas em isolamento comunista.

Demonstrators chanted “Arrest Rama!” during the clashes, as police escorted lawmakers to and from the parliament building.

Vários manifestantes foram detidos, mas não ficou claro imediatamente se houve alguma prisão.
