Maldita Migración is born to fight hoaxes about migration and refugees

A new Maldita.es project is born to fight hoaxes and disinformation regarding migration and refugees: Maldita Migración.

On its own platform, migracion.maldita.es, we will verify possible disinformation reported by the Maldita.es community through our social networks and our WhatsApp number (655 19 85 38), applying verification techniques and following the international methodology of fact-checking.

At Maldita Migración we will prepare denials with verified information and facts. In addition, we will create context pieces to understand how disinformation affects migrants and we will prepare a biweekly newsletter to keep the community alert of the hoaxes that are circulating. You can sign up for the Maldita Migración newsletter here.

This initiative is joined by eldiario.es and Onda Cero’s Julia en la Onda program , in order to give greater dissemination to the verifications and contents of the project.

This project is possible thanks to the support of Oxfam Intermón, but it will not be effective without you at our side, spreading the debunkings. Together, it’s much harder for them to fool us.

You can also fight against lies, ask us on our WhatsApp number: 655 19 35 88
