In July 2024, a video began to be distributed on the Web, on which, people with the flags of Algeria, celebrate the victory of the association of left -wing parties in the elections to the National Assembly. We decided to check if this is so.
July 8, the day after the second round of early parliamentary elections in France, publicist Alexander Nevzorov In his Telegram channel (468,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) published several videos, on one of which a group of people waved with Algerian flags to the music. “The“ left ”are widely celebrated,” Nevzorov wrote.
The video that the publicist published in the Telegram channel lasts 7 sec. In the center of the frame is a statue on Square of the republic In Paris, covered with people with The flags of Algeria (green-white panels with red crescent and star). Music behind the scenes is Algeria anthem.
July 7 at 20:00 local time, the first results The second round of elections to the National Assembly. Deputies of the French parliament elected In 577 single -mandate districts, to win the first round, the candidate needs to gain more than half of the vote. If the winner cannot be determined, then among the candidates who were supported by at least 12.5% of voters, they conduct a second round, where it is enough to enlist a simple majority. In the first round, the ultra -right “National Association” was the leader, however, to the second round the left “New Popular Front” and the supporting President Emmanuel Macron “Together” combined efforts and pushed the party Marine Le Pen and Zhordan Bardell to third place. As a result, the most places in the new convocation of the National Assembly received the “New Popular Front” (182), in second place “Together” (168), in the third - “National Association” (143). In Paris, the main place Celebrations It became the square of the republic.
In the video shot on the evening of July 7, French flags are visible, flags of Morocco and Palestine fall into the frame for a few seconds. Algeria is not among them.
On a viral video, people are dressed warmer than on the frames of July 7: on many jackets and sweaters with hoods. With the help of a reverse search from the video, “Verified” found similar shots from a rally held on the Paris Square of the republic on March 17, 2019.
On videoAFP withdrawn by AFP, Algerian and Berber flags. In addition, the same white poster with a vertical red line appears in the frame as in the viral video.
The demonstration in Paris in 2019 was dedicated to political events in Algeria. The head of state Abdel Aziz Butiflik decided to nominate for the fifth presidential term, despite the advanced age and illness. In Algeria began protests, then it turned out that the buteflik was hospitalized in serious condition. In March, he officially announcedthat will not be advanced for a new term. This was dedicated to a rally on the Republic Square in Paris.
Thus, the video in which the participants in the action are waved by Algerian flags is in no way connected with the elections of 2024. It was shot five years earlier and has nothing to do with the victory of the left.
