I don't know anything about Meidas Touch or the two featured journalists but what's happening in Albania is interesting and seems important.

It's great that they are realising people despise them and won't just roll over for them. I hope it spreads!

Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

Indeed!

'..has described the €1.4bn investment as vital if Albania is to become the Mediterranean’s “most attractive high-end tourist destination”.'

Labour will be shipped in and exploited dubai style. Revenue will quaranteened from albanian tax authorities. This was why hawaiians were keen to simply close their resorts.
