Alvise Pérez – EP
Hate on social media is becoming more widespread, as is the disdain for the truth. Hoaxes are already part of the country’s media culture, and some are so big that they can destroy people’s lives. This Sunday, media agitator Alvise Pérez, who is now also a member of the European Parliament, published a fake screenshot of a conversation between journalist Raúl Solís and a minor, insinuating that he was a paedophile.
The screenshot was obviously fake, it contained several errors, and even Alvise himself deleted his post. But this has not prevented many followers of the far-right agitator from launching messages inciting to “lynch, hang and castrate” Raúl Solís, as Facua spokesman Rubén Sánchez has denounced, providing screenshots of the messages:
Some of the authors of the messages are deleting them, but “it will no longer be of any use to them,” said the spokesman for Facual. “I have certified with eGarante the messages published by Alvise Pérez and Vito Quiles accusing the journalist Raúl Solís of trying to have relations with minors and paedophilia. Also the calls from his followers to beat him up, castrate him and kill him,” said Rubén Sánchez in a post on X – formerly known as Twitter – picked up by Catalunya Press.
