URGENTE: APAGÓN DE TRES HORAS EN EL RECUENTO ELECTORAL Desde el cierre de los colegios electorales hasta las 23:00h, estará prohibido difundir datos de las votaciones. Solo el Gobierno, el Ministerio del Interior y la empresa Indra tendrán acceso al recuento.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says there would be no three-hour blackout after polling stations closed in Spain on 9 June 2024. EU rules prevented official provisional results from being released until voting ended in the last EU member state, Italy, whose polls closed at 23:00. It also says Indra transmitted provisional results but did not count the votes.

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says the video was from celebrations after the Supreme Court stayed Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in August 2023, not celebrations before the announcement of the 2024 election result. It reports finding the same footage in an August 2023 Congress post and an August 2023 post by the Indian Youth Congress president.
