Colombian President Petro falsely claims India election unrest
Original: Gustavo Petro posted a tweet claiming that "in India the people rose up against electoral fraud" AND HE PUT A VIDEO OF W
Colombian President Gustavo Petro sparked criticism after posting that "in India the people rose up against electoral fraud," attaching a video that actually showed Argentina's 2022 World Cup victory celebrations. Observers mocked the mix-up and questioned how the claim made it onto the account of a sitting head of state, with critics in India and abroad calling the post irresponsible and factually wrong.
Why now: A sitting president posted a false claim about India paired with an unrelated video, drawing ridicule and backlash.
