The hockey goalie vs Kushner in Tirana
Kadare stayed to lead the Flamingo Revolution after guards' violence against protesters linked to Jared Kushner.
Jorina Kadare, a former Swedish hockey goaltender, canceled her move to Sweden to join the Flamingo Revolution in Albania. The protests flared after security guards linked to Jared Kushner beat a protester, sparking popular opposition to corruption and foreign land grabs. Kadare, who during his career guarded the goal for Swedish clubs, has now exchanged the stick for the megaphone and has become a central figure in the riots.
The incident has sparked wider criticism of the Albanian government, which is accused of selling off land to high bidders from foreign oligarchs and US investors, including people close to Donald Trump. The protesters are demanding immediate action against the violent repression and a review of the controversial land that threaten the country's coastlines and public places. The conflict highlights a sharp contradiction in Albania, where national resources are systematically outsourced to the highest bidder, often without public transparency.
