Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are hosting a lavish wedding in Venice amid protests against their display of wealth. Environmental group Greenpeace and the collective Everyone Hates Elon have taken significant actions in St. Mark's Square, drawing attention to issues of economic inequality. Protesters are planning to blockade the city's canals and the wedding venue, which remains undisclosed. The couple's decision to celebrate on such an extravagant scale has ignited local and international backlash, highlighting broader societal concerns and sparking discussions on the responsibilities of the wealthy.
If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax, said the words on the banner, written across a large, black-and-white photo of a laughing Bezos.
Protesters have vowed to blockade the city's canals and ports and to picket the wedding venue, whose location has not yet been made public.
