Some media claimed that from January all workers in Slovenia will be able to choose shorter working hours, Fridays off, or six-hour days. ❌ Not true — the measure only applies to workers aged 58+ or with 35+ years of service, and only with employer agreement. ✅

🗞️ In Slovenia, Luka Goršek — vice-president of the Social Democrats — criticized opposition leader Janez Janša over an alleged X post in which Janša supposedly called Israel “the light of the West” and vowed to overturn the government’s arms ban.

⚠️ But the post never existed. It originated from a satirical account and was mistakenly taken as real. Goršek later admitted he hadn’t realized it was fake and said he would delete his TikTok video, though it remained online at the time of publication.

🍞🇵🇸 In the midst of an ongoing famine in Gaza, images are circulating online showing bottles of food allegedly thrown into the sea for Palestinians.

🌊 While some Egyptians have genuinely attempted to send food this way, the viral photos don’t depict it.

🔥 Wildfires have hit southern Serbia in recent weeks, destroying homes and forests.

🗞️ But instead of focusing on facts, the tabloid Informer used the tragedy to spread ethnic hatred, falsely claiming Albanians were behind the fires.

🗞️ For years, a false claim has circulated online: that “CIA chief Steven Meyer” said the Srebrenica genocide was fabricated. Posts and images resurface regularly, including around the 30th anniversary this July.

📌 The truth: Steven Meyer does deny the genocide, but he was never “CIA chief” — a title which doesn’t even exist. He served as deputy chief of the Interagency Balkan Task Force, not the head of the CIA.

⚖️ The Srebrenica genocide has been confirmed in verdicts of international courts, despite ongoing denial campaigns.

🌍 While UN agencies confirm that more than half a million people in Gaza are trapped in famine, disinformation about the crisis continues to spread worldwide.

💬 “We live in an unjust society and an unjust system, where victims are often condemned instead of perpetrators. There is still a widespread prejudice that being a victim is something shameful.”

🌍 Across Southeast Europe and beyond, women are being targeted with sexualized deepfakes and AI-generated images. This abuse thrives in silence due to stigma, low awareness, and weak institutional response.
