Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's upcoming wedding in the city of Venice has sparked a wave of protests by foreign and local environmental activists.
The organization Greenpeace, along with the British group 'Everyone Hates Elon', joined the protests on Monday by raising a banner in St. Mark's Square that reads, 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more taxes'.
The protests are part of a broader movement called 'No Space for Bezos', in reference to Sanchez's recent trip to space.
