TV Channels Echo Puente's Hoax About Abascal

The network 'Cuatro' has spread the hoax about Abascal's photo

This weekend, the socialist Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, spread a fake image of the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal. The photo shared by the 'PSOE tweeter' was an obvious montage, but despite the poor quality of the image, Pedro Sánchez's minister decided to spread the hoax.

However, Puente was not the only one. Major television networks also echoed the information spread by the Minister of Transport, who has more than 250,000 followers. Puente's irresponsibility led several media outlets to spread the fake photo of Abascal, making it the subject of numerous mockeries on social media.

Público, a digital outlet completely biased toward the Socialist Party, was one of the first to make the tremendous mistake. In fact, they had to apologize on their social media.

A Twitter post from Público in which they apologize for an error in publishing incorrect content, joined by an image of a previous tweet mentioning a gesture by Santiago Abascal at a Patriots event, with a photo of several people on a stage.

But it was not the only one. In the news program of Cuatro, they also echoed the hoax. In the news program, they say the following:

Abascal puffing out his chest in this photo and even his head. Attention to this moment on tiptoe to match Marine Le Pen's height.

However, in the images they broadcast, it is clearly seen that Abascal was not on tiptoe.

Here it is seen that the information spread by Cuatro doesn't match the images shown.

The Controversial Fake Photo Spread by Óscar Puente

The socialist Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, is once again at the center of controversy on social media, this time for spreading a fake photo of Santiago Abascal. The 'PSOE tweeter' once again used his social media to try to ridicule the president of VOX; however, the one who ended up being mocked was him.

There is no certainty that Pedro Sánchez's minister realized from the beginning that the photo he was publishing was fake. However, after several comments comparing the original photo with the fake one, it became clear that Puente promoted a 'hoax' from his social media. It is important to note that he did not rectify, much less apologize for spreading a fake image used to attack the leader of the third political force.

From his X account, where he has more than 250,000 followers, the socialist minister posted the following:

Pointed beard so no one notices he has no chin. On tiptoe because Le Pen is taller than him. Shirts 3 sizes smaller to show off muscles.

And no public appearances so no one notices his empty brain.

MANUAL INSECURE.
