Polish rally video resurfaces as fake French protest footage.
00:08
An old video of a march in Warsaw to mark Poland's Independence Day has resurfaced online,
00:14
with social media users falsely claiming that it depicts mass protests in Paris against the French government.
00:21
This post, for example, says that 250,000 French people took to the streets
00:26
against the government's cuts to health care spending and public holidays.
00:29
Prior to being ousted in a no-confidence vote, France's former Prime Minister François Bayrou
00:35
had planned a raft of budget cuts, including the removal of two public holidays
00:40
to try and slash France's €3 trillion debt.
00:43
On 10 September, mass protests broke out in France as part of the Bloc en tout movement,
00:49
in response to Bayrou's plans and wider discontent with President Emmanuel Macron's government.
00:54
New Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has already cast the public holiday plan aside,
01:00
but other protests have continued.
01:02
However, the video in question doesn't depict any of these demonstrations,
01:05
and it wasn't even filmed in France.
01:07
A reverse image search of stills from the video shows us that it actually portrays a large rally
01:13
marking Poland's Independence Day in 2017.
01:17
We can see it first emerge online on the 12th of November of that year,
01:21
the day after Poland's Independence Day on the 11th of November.
01:24
There are also visual clues within the video.
01:27
It shows people flying the red and white Polish flag,
01:30
and these signs for retailers H&M, CNA and TK Maxx also match those on a central Warsaw roundabout,
01:37
according to pictures from Google Maps.
01:39
Additionally, you can hear the Polish national anthem being played in the background.
01:43
The video was previously also taken out of context in November 2024,
01:48
with false captions on X saying that it showed huge protests against migrants
01:52
and declaring Poland a Christian country.
01:55
Fact checkers debunked it at the time.
