At the beginning of 2024, against the backdrop of news about riots in the South American country, a fragment of a street television interview with two men dressed as comic book characters was dispersed along social networks. We checked whether such a description of this report is correct.
As reported, in Ecuador, as a result of recent riots, the situation was so aggravated that armed Joker and Batman took to the streets of one of the cities. They supposedly even gave an interview to the local television channel. In the video lasting 1 minute, a man in a Suprostate costume from DC comics and with an automaton in his hands speaks to the microphone in Spanish. Nearby walks a man in a suit of his sworn enemy Batman, armed with a pistol.
The news was widely dispersed in the Russian -language segment of Telegram - in particular, through channels "Ax 18+"(2.4 million views at the time of writing this analysis),"The ax live"(670 000),"All -seeing eye Ukraine"(263 000),"Uncle Glory"(176 000),"Nikita Tomilin"(165 000), Stalingulag (147,000) and Voblya (140 000). Unusual participants in the riots in Ecuador were reported by news resources such as the Russian television channel "360"And Kazakhstani publications Newtimes And El.kz.
At the beginning of 2024 in prisons six out of 24 provinces of Ecuador flashed The riots, the leaders of the two largest gangs fled from the imprisonment. On January 9, armed people during the live broadcast captured the studio of the state television channel TC. In different cities, cars were burned on the streets and stole the police. President Daniel Noboa announced a state of emergency, recognized the presence of an internal armed conflict and He ordered To attract the army and the national police to neutralize illegal formations.
Against this background, a video began to spread along social networks. On the microphone of the reporter in the viral video, you can see the logo of the TC television company already mentioned above.
However, on site There are no traces of such a report. At the same time, there is a Spanish -speaking dick in the frame, judging by which the report is called “What was not enough: Joker in Guayakil”, and the program itself is Alerta Roja (“Red level of anxiety”).
Oddly enough, a program with that name really It turns out On the TC channel since 2021. Its host is a journalist Jose Delgado - In a relaxed manner and with a share of humor, he talks about the life of ordinary people in Ecuador. Reportage About Joker and Batman in Guayakil entered the issue of June 6, 2022.
At the beginning of the plot, Delgado goes to the dysfunctional district of the city, where the power on the street “captured” the Joker. Communicating with a journalist, a man in a costume from comics realistically plays an appropriate role, but at some point he switches to ordinary speech and appears: the guy’s name is Daniel Auria, he is a showman and, together with his colleagues, performs on holidays for children and adults. Auria sadly noted that although his weapons and plastic, Gayakil resembles the level of crime in the level of crime Gotham City.
The plot from the Delgado program became popular in Ecuador and healed a separate life-so, in the first half of 2023, a 60-second fragment published a tickcker in his blog @elmikyg05. It was this option against the backdrop of riots that spread by Spanish -speaking social networks with incorrect interpretation. In the Russian -language segment of Telegram, this process began no later than the evening of January 10, 2024, when the video was published in the channel "Night City".
