Protestors flash ‘Kisses: yes, Bezos: no’ & ‘No space for Bezos’ banners over Bezos-Sanchez wedding
Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, and his new bride Lauren Sanchez, a former journalist, have embarked on their new life together in Venice, Italy. The couple’s lavish wedding celebration was meant to be a glamorous affair, with all the trappings of luxury and opulence. However, the festivities were marred by a surprise protest, with hundreds of people taking to the streets to express their discontent with Bezos’ growing wealth and influence.
As per reports, the protest was part of the “No space for Bezos” movement, which aims to bring attention to the rising inequality and disregard for the residents of Venice, caused by the billionaire’s increasing presence in the city. The protesters, dressed in black, held banners with messages that read, “Your power is only abuse”, “Kisses: yes, Bezos: no”, “Money can’t buy style” and “No Bezos, no war”.
The protests began as the guests were arriving at the wedding venue, with the protesters chanting slogans and holding up their signs. The atmosphere was tense, with some of the wedding guests appearing uncomfortable and trying to avoid the protesters. However, others seemed to be taking a more relaxed approach, with some even joining in the chants and taking photos with the protesters.
The “Kisses: yes, Bezos: no” banner, in particular, has been making the rounds on social media, with many people praising the creativity and wit behind the protest. The message is clear: while the newlyweds are free to exchange their romantic kisses, Bezos’ growing influence and wealth are a different story altogether.
The “No space for Bezos” movement is not a new phenomenon, with many residents of Venice and nearby areas expressing concerns about the impact of Bezos’ presence on their community. The billionaire has been buying up properties in the city, including a historic palace, and has been accused of contributing to the gentrification of the area.
The protests have also highlighted the growing unease about Bezos’ increasing involvement in the world of politics and warfare. As the owner of The Washington Post and a key player in the development of Amazon’s drone technology, Bezos has been accused of using his wealth and influence to shape global politics and push for military expansion.
As the world watches the Bezos-Sanchez wedding celebrations unfold, the protests serve as a reminder that not everyone is celebrating the union. For many, the marriage represents the epitome of wealth and privilege, and the messages on the banners are a stark reminder of the growing divide between the haves and the have-nots.
In the words of one protester, “We’re not against love, we’re against the abuse of power. We’re against the way Bezos is using his wealth to shape the world to his advantage, and to the detriment of so many others.”
As the news of the protests spreads, it’s clear that the world is not divided on its opinion of Jeff Bezos and his new bride. While some may be celebrating the union, others are using the occasion to draw attention to the growing inequality and injustice that Bezos’ wealth and influence perpetuate.
