A video showing plenty of waste in a local gathering site has recently surfaced on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The video has been shared by many users with the claims like the state of Germany after it was occupied by Muslims.
Account named Salwan Momika shared this video on X with the caption: “This is the state of Germany after it was occupied by Muslims”
Another X user also shared this video and wrote: “Uncontrolled Muslim immigration into Germany is leaving its marks on historical sites like this one in Frankfurt”
Fact-Check
Upon reverse-searching the keyframes generated from the viral video, we found a video on Youtube showcasing a sea of people gathered at Frankfurt with the caption: “England Fans in Frankfurt (20.6.24) | England vs Denmark Euro 2024“. The area seen in the YouTube videois same as shown in the above-shared video.
Furthermore, a report by media outlet The Northern Echo from June 21, 2024 cited that thousands of England supporters crammed into Frankfurt’s giant fan zone during Thursday’s game with Denmark.
Moreover, it was mentioned in the report:” England supporters took over Frankfurt’s Altstadt, or Old Town, in the build-up to Thursday’s game. By just after midday, it was pretty much impossible to get into or out of the city’s main Romerberg square, such was the number of fans packed in, drinking cans of beer and booting footballs high into the sky”
Conclusion
It is evident from DFRAC’s fact-check that the viral video has been misleadingly shared on X. In reality, the video shows the aftermath of a gathering of English football fans in Frankfurt for England’s match against Denmark during Euro 2024.
Hence, the claim made by users is false
