The whole fucking Venice? The ultra rich are from another world.
Can we fast forward to the part where we eat the rich?
Oh awesome that it worked! More like this 🤩
this is why protests DO WORK.
I have no problems with billionaires. But their freedom should stop where they negatively affect the lives of others like in this case. That would also apply to the excessive use of resources such as private jets etc
Not a good news for business owners benefiting from bezos I suppose?
It is probable that there is not even a Venetian in these controversies.
On my recent trip, I went out of my way to find a supposedly authentic Venetian restaurant. I was served by Indians and bachata music blared from the kitchen. The menu had English translations. Olive Garden is more authentic than Venice. Bezos is tacky af but it’s not his fault Venice is just a stage piece. That happened a long time ago.Â
> “These protesters behave as if they own Venice but they don’t,” Simone Venturini, a city councillor for economic development told the BBC. “No one gets to decide who gets married here.”
The hubris of saying this as _public servant_. It’s inconceivable how modern day has given rise to undemocratic leaders in this way.
Venturini should go back to school. Learn the basics.
Way to go Venetians.
They targeting the wrong one. Ask your korrupt politics what they are doing agains tax bypasses.
If there is still korruption on the highest level he will pay less tax than any cleaning lady do.
**Protesters in Venice are claiming an “enormous victory” after US tech billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wedding guests were forced to “run away” from the city centre, moving their main celebration to another location.**
The venues for the three-day party to mark the wedding of one of the world’s richest men to TV presenter Lauren Sanchez were never officially revealed.
But the lavish celebrations were supposed to culminate in an event on Saturday at the sumptuous Scuola Grande della Misericordia.
A local official in Venice has now confirmed to the BBC that the guests will gather instead at the Arsenale, further from the centre.
Activists are triumphant, even as a city councillor denounced their protests as “ridiculous”.
“We are very proud of this! We are nobodies, we have no money, nothing!” Tommaso Cacciari, from a group calling itself No Space for Bezos, told the BBC.
“We’re just citizens who started organising and we managed to move one of the most powerful people in the world – all the billionaires – out of the city.”
The wedding kicks off later this week, and has a star-studded guest list of the rich and famous that is rumoured to include Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger and Leonardo diCaprio, as well as several of the Trumps.
Private jets are expected to jam up Venice airport, with private yachts taking over the harbour; five hotels have been booked out in their entirety and there are reports of former US Marines being hired to provide security.
The A-list mega-event has attracted protest from a variety of groups, from locals fighting over-tourism in Venice to climate change activists and those who oppose Bezos’ support for Donald Trump.
As well as “No Space for Bezos” posters plastered across the city in recent days, there have been protest banners strung from bridges over the canals.
On Monday, activists from a group calling itself Everyone Hates Elon unfurled a giant image of Bezos in Piazza San Marco, protesting against the super-rich with the slogan: “If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.”
