Several dubious Albanian-language portals have published an article titled "Haradinaj: 'My goal is not power, I only care about the people'".
After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, it turns out that this article contains a false title, as it is noted that it falsely claims to be presented as the position of the leader of the AAK, Ramush Haradinaj. In fact, this statement is found to have been made by his brother, Daut Haradinaj, during the last national elections (2019), through a status on his Facebook profile.
In the current election campaign, a trend of creating and distributing fake news is being observed in dubious media outlets, which use old news as content to create fake articles that are published during this campaign.
Hibrid.info has found one such case, where the same article was presented as published by several dubious portals.

Analyze:
These dubious portals have used an old status of Daut Haradinaj on his Facebook profile, which they then published, claiming to present it as a statement by AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj.
This status was old, which was published on September 16, 2019 during the campaign of the last national elections, and the same has been tried to be presented as a current statement by Ramush Haradinaj by some dubious portals. After verification by hibrid.info, it turns out that this article is categorized as "misinformation" and "clickbait".
Reasoning:
Disinformation – A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of accuracy of information.
Clickbait – “Clickbait” are those texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is only intended to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
