A video circulating on social media falsely claimed the mayor of Saint-Denis, France, was setting a trash can on fire during recent demonstrations. The fact-checking organization Fast Check has debunked this claim, labeling the content as #False. Investigations revealed the video was edited, omitting crucial initial footage. The original, complete video shows the mayor actively working to extinguish the fire. He is then seen celebrating after successfully moving the burning container away from the entrance of a school. The manipulated clip presented a misleading narrative of the mayor’s actions in Saint-Denis.
