Greek news portal misleading the readers to believe ”Greeks are at the centre of dispute” against the Albanian Government about the protests happening in Albania right now against Trump & Kushner luxury resorts - when the vast majority of the protesters are Albanian. Is this a widespread narrative?

This is total fake news, there was 1 person of greek ethnicity at the protest
This is a nationwide protest
Still nobody in albania, ethnic albanians and minorities want this
harvestt77@reddit
...and why don't any of the Albanians want this project to happen?
theTRULYdeadguy876@reddit
Because it is a beautiful place that will get ruined for Jared Kushner's profits

Any foreign investment bring profits to the investor, but in the same time brings profits to Albanians. Are Albanians stupid for refusing profits, because the investor is profitting, as well???? Zvernec is beautiful, but doesn't bring anything to your pocket.
VoidYordle@reddit
Fuck foreign investors. You think they actually bring money to the normal people? I'm sorry, but were you born yesterday? The only money they bring is to the politicians they bribe.
harvestt77@reddit
I was born when Fuck the foreign investments and we stand on our powers was a slogan! The whole world moves on with foreign investments, only Albanians are sleepless because of the environment. Popull komunist!!!
VoidYordle@reddit
Again, in what world will this benefit the regular folk? Don't tell me you believe in ''trickle down economics". I'm not saying ''stand on your own'', I'm saying ''don't sell your soul and ass to malicious evildoers''.

None of the "fighters" of this cause (protecting our fatherland) have a SINGLE proof or reason to believe that foreign investments in tourism won't benefit the simple Albanian citizen. As a matter of fact, the only thing that works (and has worked in the last 36 years) for our glorious country is tourism. Our economy has improved only because of tourism, an investment of 4 billion dollars (not a single fucking idiot can bring proof that there is a project at first, let alone at a value of $4 billion), will boost it even more, but out of nowhere, for the second time in history Albanians want to show that they have a civic conscience...Albanians have been fooled for 36 years by politicians, once they have the chance to see some light they go and fight to protect the environment, the fatherland...Popull trim, trap dhe liridashes!

Found Edi Rama. Anyway they arent building a new factory, just getting an island for themselves
Substratas@reddit (OP)
BetImaginary4945@reddit
The media is mudding the water. Keep protesting, asking for Rama and Berisha to be jailed. They're robbing Albania as we speak and have been for 30+ years

theTRULYdeadguy876@reddit
This seems all calculated to distract us from the larger issue which is the actual project
No_Idea_479@reddit
The project is a menace to society, whether Greeks or Albanians live there or aliens or whatever.
Everyone should do what they can to oppose it, personally I support the protests.
theTRULYdeadguy876@reddit
I agree
Substratas@reddit (OP)
More like misleading, because the article is filtering out the +99% of the protesters who are Albanian - probably because ”the Greek knights” wouldn’t appear as heroic in this fight against ”the evil Albanian government”.
U can’t do good deeds while Albanian, right? 😂
/s
albanussy@reddit
The audacityyyy grinds my gears!!!!
Machinekalibar@reddit
Can Albanians give me good answer why this is bad? You guys live from tourism and need elite guests
Lydeeh@reddit
It is a protected area, home to a multitude of animals and a beautiful piece of nature. They want to build there disregarding all laws while pocketing the profits and stopping the average Albanian from enjoying the beauty of his own country. They can build anywhere else but their gluttony is sickening.
Lydeeh@reddit
Salt-Wolverine-6367@reddit
Its proposing a large construction development on the delta of a river that is a designated national park in albania and ofc a protected area (supposedly).
Tourism is great but is it worth losing access to our national parks? No thanks. This area is meant of the people of the country, not to the blocked off to some private playground for rich people.
Build elsewhere, there are plenty of other undeveloped areas across the coast of albania
Flimsy-Resident261@reddit
He wasn’t even Greek. Had Greek passport and is Catholic. Since when are Greeks Catholics? Also, Greek minority doesn’t live there. They are doing this on purpose, but I’m curious do Greeks actually believe he was targeted for being Greek?
Greek_Bodybuilder995@reddit
I HATE this debate in Greece. Someone spread fake news that Northern Epirotes‘ land is being stolen for the resort. THIS IS BULLSHIT, I tell my fellow Greeks, because this is not Northern Epirote land but a nature resort. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants „responsibilities to be attributed“ for the injury of the Greek citizen in question, but conveniently forget that there have been 16 wounded and 13 arrests and that no Northern Epirote land is being seized.
I think this is deliberately being engineered to fester on Greek hatred towards Albania to sow division. People in Greece think Albania is a lawless country akin to Mexico. This is not the case.
Substratas@reddit (OP)
I love how you’re always so unbiased.

Greek_Bodybuilder995@reddit
This is because I am a 'Northern Epirote' (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) from Himara and I am mesmerized as to how naive Greeks can be with their national feelings. That is all I am going to say.
AntiKouk@reddit
Meanwhile nobody in Greece has ever met a northern epirote or learned something about you through anything but the Greek mass media
Greek_Bodybuilder995@reddit
Oh believe me, I have met a lot of Greeks - even in my age group - who are extremely gullible and believe that Albanian Police are using force against Greeks to yet again steal Greek homes in Northern Epirus. Like even Gen Zers are falling for this shit.
Gjinkallet@reddit
You know when you play volleyball when you pass the ball for the other squad member to dunk. Kinda what mico and rama are doing. Mico says our minorities are at risk, rama says these protests are greek services. Win win
Substratas@reddit (OP)
WHAT?!?!? Is there an article about this? He’s a sick f__k.
InfinitePractice9014@reddit
Greek news making drama even were it isnt and greeks trying to make everything about themself, whats new there!
AntiKouk@reddit
Embarrassing
Dear_Wrongdoer7271@reddit
Anyone who believes Greek media is a mouthbreather.
AntiKouk@reddit
What do you mean GreekCityTimes lied about ancient Greece inventing time and space??
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
Why do we have to care about what some Greeke media informed?!
SnooSuggestions4926@reddit
I mean wtf? Can you let us be ffs?! Dumbest media post ive seen in a while
AntiKouk@reddit
Sorry but I just depicted my people as heroic, brave and outnumbered and yours as impotent weak and meek hence I win
Yavannia@reddit
Probably a fake narrative from our useless government. Meanwhile today 200 illegal immigrants came with boats, but they have given an order to most news they control to not post it to save face. Instead they have this non-issue as first news, fake patriots.
NoBandicoot9166@reddit
His name is Eduart Subashi and they calling hom greek? Since when are greek using catholic names?
NoBandicoot9166@reddit
The greeks have an agenda

I dont get why anyone wants to to turn this into an ethnie issue
As I said nobody wants this

Here is the protest from yesterday in tirana
casual_philosopher02@reddit
I am waiting for the greek bots to come and ruin it because we all genuinely see this as a sell off for corporate gains. You know which bots I am reffering to... the ones that would take an objectively bad thing happening for the region and make it poitical. Today it is Albania, tomorrow it is us
Elmalukat@reddit
Greece has really shitty media, as does Albania
FantasticQuartet@reddit
Bro, hardly anybody reads Neos Kosmos in Greece. I almost forgot it existed until I saw this post. It's a news outlets that always uses clickbait and sensationalism.
Full-Rice-9287@reddit
Divide and conquer as per usual.
According to investigative journalists, Vlora mayor and representatives of Kastrati were today in Athens to push this narrative, and discredit protesters.
Salt-Wolverine-6367@reddit
Interestingly enough no greek was heard being spoken in any of the protest videos lol.
One would expect greek minority to at least speak greek to other greek minority, no?
Either way, who gives a fuck, just protect the river delta from being needlessly destroyed to build shitty resorts. Thats all that really matters here.
theTRULYdeadguy876@reddit
All attempts to turn this into an ethnic issue / conflict are calculated efforts to distract from the real issue, which im gonna say 100% is the actual jared kushner project...
99% of Albanians dont want this
https://youtu.be/3rhH8BSYWRc?si=DuRazdOvitakY2EK
The protest from yesterday^
Another one is happening today
Substratas@reddit (OP)
I don’t want it either. I don’t hate Greeks at all - I love Greece. But I still have to call out bullshit when I see it.

The way the presence of those +99% Albanians is erased from the ”protesters & environmentalists” but only mentioned when it’s the ”Albanian government doing bad things” is peak Balkan narration. 😂
jinawee@reddit
Can you provide a national newspaper or government source so we can send it to them and see the reaction?

Disgusting but not surprising.
