Venice protestors claim ‘enormous victory’ after venue change

Protesters in Venice claim that “a huge victory” after American Technology Billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wedding guests to “run” from the city center, move their main celebration to another location.

Places for three-day entertainment that will mark the wedding of one of the richest people in the world in the Lauren Sanchez TV presentation were never officially discovered.

But sumptuous celebrations were to culminate on Saturday on Saturday at a lavish Scuol Grande della Misericordia.

The local official in Venice has now confirmed the BBC that guests will be gathered instead of Arsenale, away from the center.

Activists are triumphal, even as a city councilor condemned its protests as “funny”.

“We are very proud of it! We are nobodies, we don’t have money, nothing!” Tommaso Cacciari, from a group that calls himself without Bezos, the BBC said.

“We are just citizens who began to organize and managed to move one of the most powerful people in the world – all billionaire – from the city.”

The wedding begins later this week and has a guest list of wealthy and famous people who are on the counter, which includes Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger and Leonardo Dicaprio, as well as several trumps.

Private nozzles are expected to stuck the airport in Venice, with private yachts that take over the harbor; Five hotels are fully reserved and there are reports that the former US Marines are engaged to provide security.

A-List Mega-Mega-Event attracted protest from different groups, from locals who fought over excess tourism in Venice activists of climate change and those who oppose Beziness support for Donald Trump.

Like “there is no room for Bezos” posters belittled throughout the city in recent days, there were protest banners from bridges over channels.

On Monday, activists from the group who hates themselves to all of ELONS is banishing a giant image of Bez, Piazza’s San Marc, a protest against the venice for his wedding, then you can pay more taxes. “

“Our protest is not about the wedding itself – it’s about what it represents,” Greenpeace Campaigner Simon Abbate, who was there, he said for the BBC.

“This is not just a celebration of two people who get married, it is a display of lifestyle that is simply unsustainable. The richest live in excess, while others endure the consequences of climatic emergency.”

Activists soon criticized city officials, who claim that such high visitors are an important source of income.

“These protesters act as if they own Venice, but they don’t,” Simone Venturini said, the City Councilor for economic development said BBC. “No one can decide who is getting married here.”

He said the groups of “small minorities” were, not a city counsel.

“This event includes only 200 carefully selected guests and will bring great economic benefits to the city,” said the local politician, adding that all events were hosted in privately owned premises.

But the question of excessive tourism is seriously in Venice, because it is in southern Europe, where the protesters say the locals are the price of a beautiful city before visitors. Climate change also sets this city in the main risk of flood.

Local authorities have introduced a daily tourist tax on five euros to enter the city, but activists say he did not stop any people to come until arrival.

With the first wedding guests, they are expected to arrive on Thursday, some activists planned to start in canals near key places, together with inflatable alligators. They wanted them to try to block the path of rich and famous, stop their fun – and make their point.

That wet protest was called, but no space for Bezos still plans to project his feelings at the city building later this week and on Saturday nights invite people to join the march in the final protest emissions.

“Bezos comes to Venice just for fun, this is a problem: this vision of Venice is no longer like a city, but like a big thematic park or all that and just do your private thing,” Tommaso Cacciari said.

“He sends a message that the whole city is a billionaire party background.”
