While dozens of celebrities arrive in Venice, the owner of Amazon has to choose where he will marry – and Venice no longer looks good option.
“If you can rent Venice for your marriage, you can pay more taxes.” So read in a poster placed in St. Mark’s Square, with the face of millionaire Jeffey Bezos featured.
The founder of Amazon had rented some historical areas of the Italian city, Closed to the population for their marriage to former journalist Lauren Sánchez, who takes place this week and where some of the approximately 200 guests have arrived.
The festivities will last 3 days, but given the place of protests that the extravagant rent raised the millionaire will have seen obliged to move the place of the event to another site (not revealed) – and the culprits were inflatable crocodilesaccording to the.
About 95 private jets are expected to “invade” Venice this week, carrying celebilities such as Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Hundreds of protesters protested against the event this week in Venice, displaying posters with images of the Blue Origin owner in a rocket.
“We feel like we had reached a victory,” said an activist who called for anonymity. “The initiative of the crocodiles would have given a bad image of the city – that is why the place was changed, even if the authorities try claim that it was because of the war“.
This is because the millionaire claimed security problems after the United States entered the war between Israel and Iran and Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump, landed in Venice.
Now the activists have assured that instead of trying to prevent marriage, they will organize a march under the motto “not to bezos, not to war.”
