Greenpeace joins anti-Bezos protest with Venice banner complaining about billionaire tax breaks
-
Greenpeace on Monday joined the smattering of protests in Venice against the upcoming wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
A half-dozen protesters unfurled a giant banner early Monday in St. Mark’s Square reading: “IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX.” Local police quickly folded it up and took it away.
The demonstration followed other anti-Bezos initiatives last week including a banner draped from the San Giorgio bell tower, one from the lagoon city’s famous Rialto Bridge and posters plastered up around town complaining about the upcoming wedding and the effects of overtourism on Venice.

How many times will they take away the banners before it starts to become graffiti?

I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
