‘No space for Bezos’: Protesters rally against tech tycoon and fiancé Lauren Sanchez’s Venice wedding

Protesters say tech tycoon Jeff Bezos and his fiancé Lauren Sanchez are not welcome in Venice, as the couple prepare for three-day celebrations on the billionaire’s super yacht.

The Amazon owner and former TV journalist have a star-studded test list for their wedding in the Italian city, but it appears many local residents are not happy.

Protest group No Space for Bezos have hung a huge banner at the Bell Tower of san George, letting the couple know they are not welcome.
