In tiny Albania, over a hundred thousand people have been in the streets against an environmentally disastrous luxury resort planned by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Qatari billionaire partners. This is what global oligarchy looks like — and the people are saying NO.

@SenSanders This is not true Senator! Albanians did not rise against @realDonaldTrump and his son in law. Albanians have risen against a corrupt government funded by the left in United States. They have risen against the narco-state that Edi Rama their PM has built over the years!

@JJCarafano Albania has become a “real estate economy” financed by money laundering and narco-currency. The government is the ringleader!

That’s actually not super good news. Neither drive sustained employment and rising opportunity of a growth economy
Kosovo Update@Kosovo_Update
🇦🇱 Albania is emerging as a “real estate economy,” according to a World Bank analysis. 🇽🇰🇲🇪 Alongside Kosovo and Montenegro, growth is driven by tourism and property investment. Other Balkan states remain more focused on industry.

@Andric1961 I do not understand why EU should take a stance on this Law in BH, when in 🇦🇱 Rama passes laws with companies’ names everyday and nobody bothers in EU to criticize and 🛑 it. 🛑-ing it because the company is linked to Flynn?? At least 🇺🇸 is helping 🛑 the 🇷🇺 gas to the Balkans!

It has become difficult to distinguish between America’s national interests and the greed of the Trump clan. But the fact that this greed is proving so successful also has to do with a simple reaction of many actors: fear. A recent case from Bosnia-Herzegovina illustrates this:⬇️

@GencPollo She doesn’t dare do it with the German Gov, but she has unfortunately “kind words” on Albania in the FA Commission in the EU Parliament. I thought she would be as tough on Alb as on Serbia yesterday, but it is obvious Rama has pampered her well!
English
Not even the Enlargment Comm. Kos, a
self avowed Rama fan, mentions Albania as an “EU front runner” After meeting the German MFA she refers on Montenegro’s advancement only
🇩🇪 & other EU member states have blocked the 🇦🇱🇪🇺 talks after a major corruption scandal involving Rama👇🏻
Genc Pollo@GencPollo
further protect government members from judicial measures. This caused a number of EU member states, led by Germany, to stop Albania’s advances in the EU accession talks; the EU Commission, as usual, had seen no problem in grand corruption and general democratic backsliding 3/5

RIP to one of the greatest friends of Albanians in the Capitol Hill. Congressman @RepEliotEngel was our voice of freedom and one of the biggest supporters of the albanian cause. May his soul rest in peace!🙏

@Andric1961 Unfortunately, as you very well know, these 2 are autocrats, who decide themselves what our nations aspire. They are well known for grave records in massive corruption, money laundering and organized crime. Rama is in his worst days ever. Do you think 🇩🇪 and EU will buy this?

The prerequisite, of course, would be that the offer is taken up seriously by the EU and its members – more seriously than the farce currently known as “EU enlargement policy” . For the full article by Rama and Vučić, see Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:

Breakout from stagnation? In a joint op-ed for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama and Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić do not insist on EU-membership, but advocate admitting their countries to the European single market and the Schengen Area: ⬇️

@ChrisLaCivita Deep state keeps working! Rama as a Soros puppet, makes use of all his resources. When they do this in US, imagine what they do in Albania. Disinformation in its peak!

i don’t know what point you are trying to make with the bullshit tweet YOU KNOW I don’t have to register because i am not lobbying - doing elections in foreign countries doesn’t require it - just like hundreds of democrat consultants have done - but you would never mention
Kenneth P. Vogel@kenvogel
Chris LaCivita is not registering to lobby for the conservative Albanian opposition. Its leader, Sali Berisha, retained Charlie Black (an ex-Paul Manafort partner) as a pro-bono FARA lobbyist for a few months in 2023 after being sanctioned by the US for "significant corruption."

I’ve been a transatlanticist throughout my progressional career. Remember that America is a child of Europe-we’re Albion’s seed. We must stick together for democracy to survive. But remember it takes two to tango. Remember: America is not your enemy. Russia and China are. 5/5

🧵May I say a few word to my European friends who now berate the US for allegedly “cozying up to Russia” and “abandoning Europe”? I’m sorry, but what was NordStream 1/2 about? What was the “Minsk process” after Russia invaded Georgia and seized Crimea? Where were you then? 1/5

In perhaps the greatest single declaration uttered since“Ich bin ein Berliner,” Vance in Munich declared a type of "Ich bin ein Amerikanisch": “If you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people that elected me and elected President Trump.” thehill.com/opinion/intern…
