"We have nothing against weddings, we are not deranged! But we don't like the arrogance of this billionaire who thinks he can buy everything with his money, even Venice. Neither does the arrogance of the mayor, who shamelessly made the Church of the Misericordia Abbey available to him, since it is a space that he has self-assigned as an entrepreneur to one of his companies, with a frightening conflict of interest". Tommaso Cacciari, environmentalist and activist of the newly formed platform "No Space for Bezos", explains why he and his comrades will oppose created through nonviolent demonstration actions the upcoming wedding between the Amazon owner and his partner Lauren Sánchez. The future Mrs. Bezos is expected to attend a hectic dress change (27 in 72 hours) scheduled for June 26-28 in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed lagoon city, in the presence of 200 very important people such as Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger, Lady Gaga, Eva Longoria, Katy Perry, Ivanka Trump and the Kardashian clan. "We will meet on the 28th for a colorful and peaceful protest", says Cacciari, "We will prevent access to the church by sea with inflatables and boats.
