Several dubious portals with content in the Albanian language published articles yesterday (December 27) regarding the application of electricity subsidies.
The content of the article contains a link that claims to be the link to apply for these subsidies.
But, after research and fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been proven that this claim is untrue and the news is old.
Link to the article published by the pages "Lajmi Fundit" and "Gazeta Rich Shqip":
The link provided by these two pages takes you to an article that quotes a post made on Facebook by the Minister of Finance, Labor and Transfers, Hekuran Murati, and also provides the link published by him.
But, hibrid.info has found that this post made by Murat is old, published on September 8, 2023 (see here), and that now there is no longer any access to the link provided in the post. (see here)
Considering the recent reports on the decision to subsidize electricity, this has led to various posts from the media and social media profiles.
Analyze:
Several Facebook social media pages have published old articles regarding the application for electricity subsidies, offering a link purporting to apply for these subsidies.
But after conducting research and facts, hibrid.info has found that this claim is unfounded since the link provided is old and no longer valid for accessing it.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article as disinformation.
Reasoning:
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 information accuracy.
