The face of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, tagged with messages such as “Thank you Pedro” or “Only Peter saves the people” appeared in different neighborhoods of Valencia but, far from seeming to be a message of praise from Sánchez, Its intention is to intoxicate and polarize.
According to an investigation by Newtral.es, before they went viral, some accounts on social networks promoted these graffiti a few days ago, between November 7 and 8. They are supposedly left-wing activists, but in reality they are accounts the trollsi.e. fake profiles with a long history of pranks behind them.
After painting the walls of Valencia with these Sánchez graffiti, the fuse of disinformation was lit. Shortly after, far-right satellite accounts began filling social media, criticizing the PSOE and Sánchez for their “using tragedy for marketing purposes.”
And in this process, when the fuse reaches the dynamite, the bomb of hoaxes explodes: images with graffiti of “Thank you Pedro” began to spread on the networks that These are montages and do not exist. A laSexta team was able to verify on site that, in a building in Paiporta, on the ground floor of DANA, there is in fact no graffiti as it appears on social networks.
Another worrying case is that they are trying to sully the vital work they do. Red Cross in Valencia. Messages are circulating that this organization appears to be campaigning for the president of the government, but again, this is false.
