Raed Arafat is being held to false information regarding the Easter service, on social networks in Romania, the information being distributed widely according to which the head of the DSU would have said that it could be moved forward, or rescheduled, but everything is just false information.
"As a result of some false information appearing both in the print media and on certain pages of some people on certain social networks in which a "statement" is presented as being attributed to the head of the DSU, Dr. Raed Arafat, for the correct information of the opinion publicly we make the following statement:
FAKE NEWS distributed: "The Easter service can be brought forward until 22:00 or rescheduled for the next day" Raed Arafat
Given the obvious tendentious nature of the information behind this "statement" which aims to increase and accentuate the state of tension and revolt among the population, being in the context of the approach of the holy Easter holidays, this FAKE NEWS type information adopted a new strategy to spread the message faster.
The "statement", in order to reach the expected level of credibility, continues with the stipulation of a credible source, namely DIGI24, which inevitably led to the massive propagation of the news on various media channels.
The dissemination of false information, from unreliable sources, aims to increase the degree of mistrust of the population in the authorities directly involved in the management of the situation generated by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and the measures taken to reduce the number of infections, on a national level.
For this reason, we want to inform citizens to be careful about the sources of information they choose or consider credible."
