'You can pay more tax': activists display anti-Bezos banner in Venice ahead of wedding

Ahead of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos' wedding festivities in Venice, activists are protesting to highlight concerns over overtourism and wealth inequality.

Activists from groups like "No Space for Bezos" and Greenpeace staged demonstrations across Venice on Monday, displaying banners with messages such as "No Space for Bezos" and "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax."

Concerns have been raised about the strain on Venice's infrastructure, and activists argue that the lavish event exacerbates issues of overtourism and neglects the needs of residents.

Local civic groups have been staging protests against the wedding since last week.
