launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security

action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic

investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires

If we want nice things, we can have them. But we will not get them by voting for politicians who are bought and sold by corporations — the same corporations who wrote the rules to rig the system against us.

Russian telegram channels are going through their old videos editing out war crimes. Things they were once proud to show are being secretly removed. They apparently don’t realize their videos and messages are archived.
solo in Italia milionari e bilionari possono venire a sposarsi e blindare il centro di una città come Palermo perché possono, creando disagi ai residenti. Dopo Bezos a Venezia, tocca a Dua Lipa. Noi ormai davvero un paese da terzo mondo trattato come un mero set cinematografico
Everything Ukrainian journalists document is our truth about this war and evidence of Russian crimes. And it is important that this work be of high quality and contribute to accountability for all of Russia’s crimes and attacks on life. I thank the journalists and all media employees who work for Ukraine and show the world what our people have to endure and how we fight for our independence.
Today, we also thank all dedicated foreign media professionals who stand on the right side of history and ensure that the world does not forget or remain silent about what is happening in Ukraine. It is precisely this active support that helps us secure assistance at the political level.
And all of us must preserve the memory and honor the contribution to our fight of those journalists who were killed in this war.
Congratulations on Journalist’s Day!
