ما حقيقة رغبة 66% من المهاجرين غير النظاميين البقاء في ليبيا؟

Publisher’s rating: مضلل

The review says the IOM did not publish the cited statistics and that Nicoletta Giordano’s statements did not specify what share of migrants intended to stay in Libya. It reports that about 761,000 migrants were in Libya by July 2024, citing statements attributed to Giordano and reported by Nova. The claim that 66% intended to stay is therefore unsupported by the evidence described in the review.

アメリカでは帰化して三世代おかないと政治家になれない？

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the claim is false: U.S. presidential and congressional qualifications do not depend on a candidate’s parents’ nationality or country of origin. It also finds that only two people named in the circulated image listing supposedly naturalized Japanese lawmakers could be confirmed as having naturalized.

2/3 Ukraińców w Niemczech pobiera Bürgergeld, tzn. nie pracują.

Publisher’s rating: Prawda

The review says that about two-thirds of Ukrainians in Germany received Bürgergeld according to Federal Employment Agency data from June 2023. But receiving the benefit does not establish that a person is unemployed: the review notes that low-income workers and children may also qualify.

“I think what the president’s talking about is beginning with the dangerous persons that we know are here. There are criminals, known criminals. There are known terrorists in the country. There are some who have been apprehended, apprehended for committing violent crimes after they have come across the border illegally. So, you start with that number, you have got, by some counts, as many as 3 or 4 million people that fit that category.”

السعودية تهدد ترحيل اليمنيين

Publisher’s rating: مضلل

The review says Al-Hatila’s post did not indicate an intention to deport Yemeni residents; it says the claim’s publishers excerpted the post. It also says the post coincided with Saudi–Yemeni cultural events, not the announcement of the political bloc as the circulated report claimed.

Treinconducteurs op het traject tussen Erfurt en Suhl in Duitsland hoeven de tickets van migranten niet langer te controleren.

Publisher’s rating: De spoorwegmaatschappij zegt dat er geen algemene instructie is om de kaartjes van migranten niet te controleren. Het lijkt erop dat het artikel, gepubliceerd door Thüringer Allgemeine, foutief begrepen is door de Facebookgebruiker. Een woordvoerster van de Süd-Thüringen-Bahn vertelde dat het treinpersoneel "alleen in moeilijke situaties" zelf kan kiezen wat te doen om een moeilijke situatie te kalmeren.
