Approximately a dozen Venetian organization, including housing advocates, anti -cruise ship campaigns and university groups, united to protest the very daily activity under the heading “There is no place for Bezos”, which is a game on the bride’s latest space flight.

Local activists planned to prevent access to channels on Saturday to prevent guests from reaching a wedding venue. After claiming that their protests forced their oppression to change their organizers to Arsenale, which is an easier safe place beyond the congestion center of Venice, to Arsenale.

Venice, known for its romantic channel views, hosts hundreds of wedding every year, rarely not rich and celebrities. In 2014, his previous famous weddings were embraced by the public for George Clooney’s Human Rights Lawyer Amal Alamuddin. Hundreds of people expressed their good wishes at the Double Town Hall.
He said that Bezos had a different political and business profile, Tommaso Cacciari, who successfully pushed over 25,000 tons of cruise ships passing through the Giudecca Channel in the center of the movement.
“Bezos is not a Hollywood player, Cac Cacciari said. “A ultra billionaire who sits next to Donald Trump during the opening, contributes to his re -election and contributes directly and heavy to this new global obscenity.”
Critics refer to Amazon’s labor practices, tax disputes with European governments and Bezos’s political associations as reasons for concern.
Activists also argue that Bezos wedding exemplifies the wider failures of the municipal governance, especially the priority of tourism on the needs of residents. They give measures such as daily triper tax, which claims that critics strengthen Venice’s image as a theme park. Among the concerns is the chef, lack of investment in affordable housing and basic services.
