සමලිංගිකයන්ට පොහොට්ටුවේ ජනාධිපති අපේක්ෂකත්වය නොදෙන බවට තිස්ස කුට්ටිආරච්චි ප්‍රකාශ කළා ද?

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says Kuttiaarachchi denied making the claimed statement, “සමලිංගිකයන්ට පොහොට්ටුවේ ජනාධිපති අපේක්ෂකත්වය දෙන්නේ නෑ.” It distinguishes that wording from his reported remark that the party’s candidate would be someone who would not legalize same-sex relationships: “සමලිංගික නීතිය නීතිගත කරන්නේ නැති අපේක්ෂකයා තමයි පොහොට්ටුවේ අපේක්ෂකයා.”

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review says the claim is inaccurate: based on Tokyo’s June 2024 electorate, a recall would require about 1.54 million signatures, not 4 million. It also notes that Koike could not be recalled during the first year of her third term, which began on July 31, 2024.

சென்ற சட்டமன்றத் தேர்தல் - பெரும் அரசியல் தலைவரின் மகன் மு.க.ஸ்டாலின் தனது சொந்த தொகுதியான கொளத்தூரில் எந்த அரசியல் பின்புலமும் இல்லாத ஆர்ம்ஸ்ட்ராங் இடம் வெறும் 3000 ஓட்டு வித்தியாசத்தில் மட்டுமே வென்றார். 2026 லும் இதே நிலைமை இருக்குமா? இப்போது புரிகிறதா? படுகொலை பின்னணி?

Myth DetectorElections & voting

On July 10, the conservative Georgian-language news portal “Georgia First” published a post, according to which the victory of the leftists in the French parliamentary elections was celebrated with Palestinian flags. In the video, which is believed to show the demonstration, almost no French flags can be seen. An identical video was published on July 8 and 10 by Russian-language Facebook accounts. The French were allegedly waving Palestinian flags during the demonstration. Although the authors of the post did not mention the victory of the leftists, based on the date of publication of the videos, they probably referred to the demonstration related to the victory in the elections.

Publisher’s rating: The video that allegedly depicts a rally organized to celebrate the victory of the left in the French elections is being disseminated manipulatively. In fact, the video was taken at a pro-Palestinian rally in Lyon in June 2024 and is not related to the demonstrations that took place after the recent elections.
