No space for Bezos

Organized by a coalition of housing advocates, student groups, anti-cruise ship activists, and even Greenpeace, the protests operate under the banner “No Space for Bezos” — a nod to Sánchez’s 2021 spaceflight and a pointed critique of Venice’s dwindling accessibility for locals. Protesters argue Bezos isn’t just a celebrity groom; he’s a symbol of corporate power, wealth inequality, and the privatization of public spaces.
