It\u2019s about people leaving their country because they don\u2019t want to live here. It started as a protest because of the investment that\u2019s happening in Sazan and Narta Lagoon from Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. It started because of that, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Now we\u2019re protesting for our rights and for a new Albania. It is about a private property. It is not about a land that is public.
