A reply to all the PM's online cheerleaders flooding the forum these days
A viral tweet compiles in 8 minutes the Spanish prime minister's supposed lies over nearly 8 years in office. The video is being used as a campaign weapon.
A viral tweet is spreading an 8-minute video compiling the Spanish prime minister's supposed lies over nearly 8 years in office. The clip is presented as "don't forget" material ahead of the elections.
Spanish politics has been warming up for months, and the latest episode comes in video format. A viral tweet claims that one **Juan Pablo Pole** has compiled in **8 minutes** all of the prime minister's supposed lies during his nearly **8 years** in power. The text accompanying the post presents it as "PURE GOLD so we don't forget his LIES" and urges people to watch it despite its length. The clip fits into the prime minister's own request that everything he has done over these nearly eight years be remembered.
## A video as electoral ammunition
The post is not a neutral analysis. The message sharing it directly calls it "PURE GOLD" and highlights the word "LIES" in capital letters. In other words, it is not presented as an informative document but as a campaign tool. The original tweet asks for patience with the **8-minute** runtime and justifies watching it by citing the prime minister's request that his record be remembered.
Context matters: Spain is heading into an electoral cycle and parties are looking to mobilize their voters with material summarizing the years of government. A compilation video is cheap to produce and easy to share. The tweet's publication date is not specified, but the text places the term in office at "nearly 8 years", which situates it at the end of the legislative term.
## Who is behind the compilation
The tweet attributes the video's authorship to **Juan Pablo Pole**. No details are given about his political affiliation or whether he works for any party or media outlet. The post also provides no sources for the supposed lies it lists. It simply claims that the video compiles them and that there are things "I had not even remembered".
That lack of verification matters. A compilation video can mix out-of-context statements, broken promises and debatable claims. Without a verifiable breakdown, viewers have no way to check each case. The tweet offers no such breakdown.
## Social media's role in the campaign
The original post has racked up interactions and is being shared as a response to those who defend the prime minister. The message spreading it accuses those defenders of being "a ing rat" for endorsing "this legacy". That insulting language is common in online brawls, but it adds no facts.
What remains is an **8-minute** video presented as a compilation of the prime minister's lies over nearly **8 years**. Its political value is obvious; its informational value depends on someone verifying, one by one, the claims it contains. Until that happens, the clip should be treated for what it is: campaign material, not an audit.
