This weekend’s starry ceremony has galvanized activist groups that protest it as a sign of the increasing disparity between the haves and those who have, as well as ignorant of the city’s residents. Around about a dozen Venetian organizations, including housing proponents, anti-collapse campaigns and university groups, they have joined to protest the event of several days under the “No Spa space for bezos” banner, a work of words that also refers to the recent space flight of the bride.
They have staged small-scale protests, developing anti-bezos banners in iconic Venetian places. Greenpeace joined Greenpeace and the British group “Everything Hates Elon”, which has destroyed Teslas to protest against Elon Musk, to develop a giant banner in St. Mark’s Protestant Square for billionaire tax collections.
“If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more taxes,” read the banner, which presented a huge image of Bezos. Police quickly took her.
Among the 200 guests confirmed to attend the wedding are Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio. Venice, known for its romantic views of the canal, welcomes hundreds of weddings each year, not frequently those of the rich and famous. The wedding of previous celebrities, such as that of George Clooney to human rights lawyer, Amal Alamuddin, in 2014, were adopted by the public. Hundreds were well desired by the couple in the City Council.
However, activists said that Bezos has a different political and business profile. Tommaso Cacciani, a prominent figure in the movement that successfully pushed the ban to cross the cruisers of more than 25,000 tons traveling through the Giudecca channel in the center of Venice, said: “Bezos is not a Hollywood actor Donald Trump During the inauguration, which contributed to his re -election and he directly and heavy contributes to this new global obscvantism. “

Despite the protests of the residents, the city’s officials said it was an honor for Venice to house the wedding, and the city’s mayor, Luigi Brugno, said he was expecting to meet the founder of Amazon while in the city. In the meantime, a Venetian environmental research association, Corila, said that the Bezos land fund was supporting its work with a “major donation”.
But protests are not the only problem that has faced the couple as the best option of the bride for an artist of nails, Iram Shelton, is a last -minute “non -show”.
