This was stated by Luca Zaia, president of the regional government, to Reuters.
Controversy in Venice over Jeff and Lauren's wedding The scandal and controversy have been the protagonists in recent days after several protests were reported in the streets of Venice against the wedding and against the magnate Jeff Bezos himself. The group “No hay espacio para Bezos” spoke out and took to the streets to protest against the wedding celebration and some labor practices of Amazon and its director Mr. Bezos. Activists went out to protest with banners and photographs with the businessman's face, throwing a mannequin into the Grand Canal alluding to Bezos clinging to an Amazon box, with fists full of fake dollars. In that sense, a well-known British advertising firm asserted that these protests were not against the wedding "but against uncontrolled wealth, media control, and the increasing privatization of public spaces."
