Original review summary

The video shows a real failed attack on Bulgarian politician Ahmed Dogan, but it is not recent footage: the incident occurred in January 2013. Posts calling it “urgent” or “breaking news” therefore present an old event as current.[S1]

Additional context

The attack took place in Sofia during the televised annual conference of Dogan’s party; he was unharmed. [S1]

In February 2024, Reuters fact-checkers also clarified that the video did not show an attack on Bulgaria’s prime minister; Dogan had never held that office. [S1]
