Greenpeace protested Jeff Bezos' upcoming wedding in Venice, criticizing his low tax payments compared to the extravagant event planned. Alongside the group "Everyone Hates Elon," they displayed banners in St. Mark's Square, emphasizing how celebrities and billionaires prioritize lavish spending over societal contributions. Local activists expressed frustration over city authorities catering to wealthy entities instead of the residents. While officials maintain the event will benefit local businesses, the protests reveal underlying tensions surrounding wealth inequality and sustainable practices.
"If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." – Greenpeace protest banner targeting Jeff Bezos highlights the disparity in taxation for billionaires.
"Bezos arrogantly believes he can take over the city and turn it into his own private party venue," said Tommaso Cacciari, addressing local frustrations.
"The problem is not the wedding, the problem is the system. We need to focus on the larger impact of wealth inequality and climate change." – Greenpeace representative.
