Saturday, June 13, 2026- A viral video claiming to show massive protests in Albania against a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner has been proven false.
Fact-checkers found that the footage actually shows thousands of football fans celebrating in the Spanish city of La Coruña after local club Deportivo La Coruña secured promotion back to Spain’s top football division.
The clip was widely shared across social media with misleading captions suggesting it depicted anti-government demonstrations in Albania.
The misinformation emerged amid genuine protests taking place in Albania over a controversial coastal development project associated with Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Demonstrators have raised concerns about environmental protection, land ownership disputes, transparency, and the potential impact of large-scale tourism projects on sensitive ecosystems.
While the protests are real and have attracted significant public attention, the viral beach crowd video has no connection to the events unfolding in Albania.
The incident highlights how quickly misleading content can spread during politically sensitive events. Investigations traced the footage back to football celebrations in Spain, with multiple videos and images confirming the location and occasion.
As debate over the Albanian development project intensifies, fact-checkers continue to warn against sharing unverified content that can distort public understanding of complex issues and fuel misinformation online.
