Prime Minister Edi Rama, speaking at the Paris Peace Forum, commented on the protests, saying that the project linked to Jared Kushner was what sparked the anger.
“I would make a distinction between what happened at the beginning, namely the early June demonstrations, where a very large number of people from all walks of life came out and expressed concerns, which were a consequence of the well-known project linked to Jared Kushner.
It was like a kind of red rag that fueled the anger of the ‘bull’. After that, a very small number of protesters remained, who later escalated into violence, which is not acceptable and no longer has anything to do with the protest at the beginning”, Rama said.
