The Trump family, through Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, has bought Sazan, a small island of just over 5.7 square kilometers in front of the coast of Albania and its intention is to turn it into A luxury shelter Only suitable for millionaires. The operation, valued at more than one billion euros, has caught international attention not only for the magnitude of the investment, but for the symbolism that An ancient communist fort become the new whim of 1% richer of the world population. A past of bunkers and communist paranoia In 2021, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner ran into Sazan during a yacht holiday for the Gulf of Vallea, just 30 kilometers from the city of Vlora in Albania. As the millionaire counted in the podcast De Lex Fridman, both were fascinated by the island’s sunrises and for their intact landscape covered with ferns, lavender, broom and laurel. That is why the couple decided to bet strongly on this corner Virgen del Mediterraneo. Shortly after, they closed the purchase of those 567 hectares uninhabited for just over one billion euros. However, Sazan was not always the uninhabited paradise that is today. Such and as they counted in The Guardianduring The communist regime of Inver Hoxha, that governed Albania Between 1944 and 1985, the island was a Strategic military enclave isolated from the continent and inhabited by about 150 military families. The Albanian ruler lived obsessed with the idea of ​​an imperialist invasion of its territory, so it ordered to pierce the entrails of the island with about 16 kilometers of tunnels and build around 3,600 concrete bunkers, which still splashed the landscape as scars of that time. The military and their families lived virtually incommunicado, surrounded by fortifications and underground supplies and always vigilant views waiting for some enemy submarine to emerge with bad intentions. The island It was used For the Italian Finanza Guard in the 1990s to combat drug trafficking and people, and it was not until December 2024 when he officially left be a military base. The importance of being called Trump The Trump family project would not have been possible without the determined support of the Tirana government. According to Posted by La Prensa Albansa, Prime Minister Edi Rama has publicly defended the initiative as a strategic opportunity for the country. “We cannot allow ourselves not to take advantage of a gift. Albania needs luxury tourism as the desert needs water,” Rama said, underlining the importance of attracting international investments and positioning Albania as high -level tourist destination. The Government has granted Affinity Partners, managed by Donald Trump’s son -in luxury shelter Reserved for Millionaires. This status implies tax advantages, support in public infrastructure and an accelerated processing of permits and regulations. The project provides for the creation of about 1,000 direct jobs, a relevant figure for the local economy in which, According to data of the ‘World Tourism Barometer‘From 2024, Albania earns greater importance as a holiday destination. As They point from Bloomberg, it is not strange that the Trump family has obtained green light for this project right now that the patriarch of the clan occupies the oval office of the White House. Luxury, exclusivity and environmental controversy The project ‘Sazan Island Touristic Resort‘promises to transform the island into a private paradise, with Villas embedded in the cliffsfive -star hotels backed by the prestigious chain Aman, and a coast reserved only for the activities of the most exclusive guests. The design is designed to attract a clientele willing to pay fortunes for privacy and personalized services. According to the Plans presentedin the first phase only 45 of the 567 hectares will be urbanized, maintaining the rest of the island and its hiking trails as a protected environment. The first project designs show a constructed villas complex respecting the steep orography of the island, and integrating them into the environment so that the landscape and local flora are altered as little as possible. However, since it is a protected natural enclave, the project is not exempt from controversy. Environmental groups have raised the voice Against the transformation of Sazanarguing that “the island is a natural enclave that must be preserved” and warning of the ecological impact that the massive arrival of yachts and tourists of high purchasing power will have. “This area is in the Karaburun-Sazan Maritime Park. This means that beaches and waters within a radius of the coast are protected. What consequences will great public works, the construction of docks, yacht traffic and wastewater discharge in this place? ” Olsi NikaMarina Biologist and director of the NGO Ecoalbania to The Guardian. In addition, before the Ishulli I Trumpëve (Trump Island), as the locals already call it, can open its doors, it will be necessary The invasion would arrive aboard huge supereyates and armed with huge bundles of tickets in the pockets.

‘Tele family’ has earned many detractors in their first week. And that includes much of TVE

by

Only one week and the star program of the afternoons of La1, ”TV family‘, keep giving dislikes to RTVE. A new problem is now added to his weak audience results: the presence of his collaborator Marta Riesco in the Vatican has bothered the public entity’s council for the bad image he is giving. The controversy. This Thursday, Riesco appeared in the Vatican to cover Pope’s choice. A day later, the Informative Council launches a statement to protect RTVE’s credibility. In his opinion, the arrival of Riesco “to a clearly informative event” and “using the RTVE microphone” is problematic by the form and style, very similar to that of traditional news. “Information professionals in this house have long days in Rome informing seriously and rigorously,” says the statement. The singular thing about the case is that Riesco had no chance to inform too much: After a first block in which he informed about the situation and chatted with some nuns in a relaxed but serious and respectful tone, The White Fumata arrived. The address of ” The family of TV ‘cut the broadcast of the program to give way to the news. A day before, two historical RTVE, María Escario and Ángeles Caso, criticized La1 for including in their programming a space that could be understood as Continuation of ‘Save Me’: Scario, already retired, spread on social networks a very critical case of case Posted in article 14. The family in trouble. It is not the only stumbling block that ‘the family of TV’ has had: its first day of the first day of ride were not spectacular (8.7% and 9.1% of Share), but then they went down. He Tuesday They made 8.7% and 7.4%, and the Wednesday They touched background with a single 6.2%block. He Thursday It was issued only in desktop, and also obtained minimal in that strip, 8%. Facing next week, maybe RTVE has to consider the content and format of a space that for now does not rise from fourth place, leaving behind the sixth. Objective: Save the series. ‘TV family’ initially raised as a couple of square brackets that framed, with their two halves, to the two main dishes of the afternoon, the series ‘Wild Valley’ and ‘The Promise’. At the moment they are not being affected by the changes, and in fact on Thursday the first one made 10.1% of Sharethe Second best share of its history. But right now they are the float that keeps the afternoons of La1. Will RTVE continue to be risking that ‘the TV family’ drag with their results to seemingly infallible fictions? Innocence interrupted. ‘The family of TV’, with this unwanted controversy with the Informative Council and with the weak audience results, thus becomes the first great stumbling block of the Directive headed by Sergio Calderón. Under his mandate, programs are being happening (some of them, yes, inherited from the previous directive) that are working and renewing the image of RTVE: Broncano (which, yes, Starts to falter against ‘El Hormiguero’), Marc Giró, Buenafuente (That by the way, started with an excellent audience12.8%) … ‘The family of TV’ was a project clearly very dear to Calderón, since before he was in the direction of the public channel he worked in Studio manufacturers, producer of ‘Save Me’. A stumbling block that is still in time to fix if he does not want him to become a first notch in his history in RTVE.

With ‘The family of TV’, TVE wants to look more than ever to Telecinco. It is a risky movement

by

The program with which La1 wants to compete from you to you with Tele5 and Antena 3, ‘TV family‘, He has reached the chain’s grill. Does it after two weeks late (first by the Death of the Popethen for the Blackout that left Spain without electricity), and has been presented in society with a colorful ride that has guaranteed it A few criticisms. But after its premiere there is something else: TVE’s intention to compete for a younger audience What was the ride? The ride consisted of the arrival, one by one, of those who will be the great stars of the program. That is, Aitor Albizua and Inés Hernand, veterans of RTVE, along with María Patiño and Belén Esteban. The latter, together with collaborators such as Víctor Sandoval or Carlota Corredera, During yesterday afternoon there was time for everything, from detailed presentations of multiple collaborators to winks to the past. For example, in tribute to sadism with which ‘Save Me’ treated its collaborators, the program forced the collaborators to move by their own means from Torrespaña to Prado del Rey. Throughout the afternoon there were times for viral moments, such as the inevitable Chuminero dance from Lydia Lozano. And the ride surprised with the signing of two very young from the heart of the heart: Isa Pantoja and Rocío Carrasco. They are not light decisions: the bridge to the total connection with Telecinco is lying. The program was divided, as usual in the future, in two blocks: one that will go, approximately four to five in the afternoon, and after the series ‘Wild Valley’ and ‘The Promise’, another block between seven less fourth and eight and a half. The audience, with doubts. It is complicated to determine the exact audience of the program by its dual nature: two differentiated blocks, separated by which it seems that the stars in the afternoons of the1 will continue: the ‘Wild Valley’ and ‘The Promise’ series, which made a phenomenal 14.5% of Share. The first block of ‘The Family of TV’ only 8.7%, being below both ‘afternoon’ and ‘dreams of freedom’, and very close to ‘everything is a lie’ of Telecinco. In the second block, it made 9.1%, also third option behind Telecinco and Antena 3, and being very close to Lasxta. ‘The family of TV’, with its arrival, eliminates from the grill to the series ‘La Moderna’, for both budget and audience reasons, as The director of RTVE explainedSergio Calderón. RTVE also definitely eliminates the ‘El Hunter’ contest, which was also having very low figures and had canceled on the paper since summer of 2024. From that point of view, ‘The family of TV’ is a safe bet: it serves as opening and exit parenthesis for two traditional series that still give up, and there is space to play with the blocks and make changes if the audiences do not improve. Battlefield: The afternoons. Interestingly, the afternoons of all channels have remained as a bliburrillo where all channels have distinctive offers, but with common points: Talk Shows and varieties (‘The family of TV’, ‘Late‘,’ The Jorge Jorge ‘), Series (‘ The Promise ‘,’ Dreams of Freedom ‘), Contests (‘ Pasapalabra ‘,’ Chain reaction ‘…). Until now, TVE remained on the sidelines with a block of cultural tone competitions and absolutely distinctive series of the public chain. Now, with ‘The family of TV’, go down to the mud of direct competition imitating the style of its rivals. TVE telecinquification. Regardless of whether ‘the TV family’ is paid with a success or with a failure, what we surely have here is another sample of the public channel approach to codes most typical of private chains. Embraceing the jester and acidic humor of ‘Save The Broncano program. RTVE wants to rejuvenate his audience and that Playz’s experiments are not in something isolated, and that is why Inés Hernand and Samantha Hudson are brought from there, and has the potential of ‘Save me’ as an ironic artifact for young people. ‘Save me’ in TVE? After a stage-person on the Internet and then a landing in Ten, the informal heir of ‘Save Me’ was ‘or that we were Shhh’, with a greater impact of the expected and audiences of more than 4% of Share. Before all this, he had a brief life as Netflix experiment in the form of reality that did not curdle. All this helped the program to become an ironic artifact for the youngest, alive especially in social networks and with a fauna with their own dynamics that do not need explanations and that will inherit ‘the family of TV’. It is undoubtedly a risky leap: does it make sense that on the set of ‘The Family of TV’ the fights, hysteria attacks or insults of collaborators as extremes as Kiko Matamoros are replicated? LA1 is risking, but deep down not much more than has risked all the eSCUDERÍA DE COMESO THAT IS AT THE PUBLIC CHAIN: First Broncano and Marc turned, shortly Buenafuente. It is a general RTVE plan that goes through a different audience from those traditional series and cultural competitions that had before, and in that sense, ‘The family of TV’ is a comprehensive bet for the afternoons. OBJECTIVE: Rejuvenate the audiences and give a washing face to the TVE grill. Header | RTVE In Xataka | 739 million euros: an audit of the Treasury points to a possible budget hole in RTVE
