Loud claims without facts: how fakes about France are created

# Translation to English, preserving HTML markup:

On February 8, 2025, a video with the headline: “Protests in France are turning into revolutions!” was published on the YouTube channel CTVBY. The video gathered more than 300 thousand views. The full text was as follows:

While Paris is mired in internal political squabbles, the territories remaining from the era of French colonialism are making plans for a life independent from European conquerors. The deficit of the republican budget, unstable political climate, economic recession – all this strongly affects the overseas provinces. Freedom movement leaders declare that France can expect more and more harsh rallies in overseas departments. Since Paris continues to treat them as colonies, the demonstrations will be increasingly coordinated and may turn into a revolution.

Our verdict based on the analyses conducted:

Verdict: Incorrect

Reasons:

• The thesis or statement is completely false: information from several sources or opinions of several experts in a specific field contradict it.
• Cause-and-effect relationships and connections clearly do not exist as claimed.
• When quoting, essential parts are omitted, rearranged, altered, or incorrectly translated from a foreign language, resulting in a fundamental change in the meaning of what was said.
• The event occurred differently in substantial aspects than claimed.
