Greenpeace joins protest against Jeff Bezos’ wedding in Italy
Recently, Greenpeace took part in protests in Venice against the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Protesters held a large banner in St.
Mark’s Square that read, “IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX”. According to an Associated Press report, local police quickly removed the banner and asked the small group of demonstrators to leave.
The protest is part of the “No Space for Bezos” campaign, which includes local housing groups, student organisations, and anti-cruise activists. They say the wedding is a symbol of the city’s ongoing problems with overtourism and poor local planning.
Last week, the group also hung banners from major landmarks and put up posters around the city.
