Protest groups united in anger as Bezos’ star-studded wedding arrives in Venice
Protests continue as celebrities arrive for Jeff Bezos’ lavish wedding
- Jeff Bezos's lavish wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice ignited protests from local activists and environmental groups.
- A coalition of Venetian organisations, including 'No Space for Bezos,' demonstrated against the event, citing widening wealth disparity and the city's prioritization of tourism over residents' needs.
- Protesters displayed banners, including one in St. Mark's Square targeting billionaire tax breaks, which was quickly removed by police.
- Activists cited Bezos's business practices, political associations, and Amazon's labor and tax issues as reasons for the negative public reaction, contrasting it with past celebrity weddings.
- Among the 200 guests confirmed to be attending the Wedding are Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio.
