Several Facebook pages have published today (April 6) an article with the title "With the increasing number of Albanians in Germany, Germany is becoming poorer", taken from the dubious portal "jnews3.com", published on February 4.
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the article is old and the title is fabricated, which does not correspond to the content.
The news is clarified only in the content, which states that "While Albanians continue to rush frantically towards Germany, the 'earthly paradise' according to a psychotic perception they have created that has ruled them in recent years, Germany itself is showing signs of poverty."
So, through this title, the aforementioned page has implied that the cause of Germany's poverty is the large number of Albanians moving there, despite the fact that the content states the reason for Germany's impoverishment, which is inflation.
