Flamingo Revolution
Anti-government protests in Albania
The Flamingo Revolution is a decentralized social movement and series of protests primarily against the Government of Albania. The initial protests took place in Baks-Rrjoll on 2 February 2026 when residents against the planned Blue Borgo resort and disputed land ownership. A major wave of protests followed on 16 May at Zvërnec, near the Narta Lagoon, over preparatory works and proposed luxury tourism developments linked to the Sazan Island and Zvërnec resort project, backed by American investor Jared Kushner. Violence against protesters near the Zvërnec project site on 30 May triggered further demonstrations in Tirana the following day. The protests subsequently broadened from Baks-Rrjoll and Zvërnec and later spread to other cities in Albania, Kosovo and Albanian diaspora communities abroad.
