Albania is occupying an increasingly prominent place in the political debate in the United States, as Jared Kushner's tourism project on Sazan Island has become an argument used by important figures in the Democratic Party against President Donald Trump and his family.

After Senator Bernie Sanders, Democratic Senator from Georgia, Jon Ossoff, also publicly referred to Kushner's investment in Albania during an election rally, presenting it as an example of the combination of private interests with political power.

"A few weeks after Trump won a second term in the White House, the prime minister of Albania granted Jared Kushner's company strategic investor status," Ossoff told his supporters.

According to the American senator, this status speeds up procedures for permits and approvals, creating advantages for Kushner that, according to him, he would not have if he were not the son-in-law of the President of the United States.

Ossoff described the island of Sazan as "one of the last untouched coastlines of the Mediterranean," while saying that legal changes in Albania paved the way for the development of the luxury resort.

In his speech, he also referred to the protests that have been taking place in Tirana for weeks, which he called the "Flamingo Revolution", claiming that tens of thousands of Albanians have taken to the streets to oppose the agreement.

"Ordinary people in Albania do not agree with this agreement," Ossoff said, adding that the Albanian anti-corruption prosecution (referred to as SPAK) has taken investigative actions related to investors involved in the project.

His statements come just a few weeks after Senator Bernie Sanders used the Albanian case in a post on the X network.

"In tiny Albania, over a hundred thousand people have taken to the streets against an environmentally destructive luxury resort planned by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his billionaire partners from Qatar. This is what global oligarchy looks like, and the people are saying NO," Sanders wrote on June 9.

Sanders' statement brought a reaction from Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Rama asked the American senator not to turn Albania into part of the domestic political debate in the US.

"With all due respect, Senator, Albania is a country, not a line in an American political debate," Rama wrote, also objecting to the protest figures mentioned by Sanders.

The Prime Minister emphasized that there is still no final project or construction permit for the development in Sazan and Zvërnec, while arguing that any decision-making will go through legal procedures and European Union environmental standards.
