Alvise is the ONLY one denouncing the Moroccan agitator from Ceuta who works for the PSOE

Alvise Pérez attributes an attack with bladed weapons to the PSOE's number one candidate for Congress in Ceuta during a scuffle in which the National Police subdued him. The post provides no evidence of the attack or of the party membership.

The post by **Alvise Pérez** on X shows a man being subdued by **National Police** officers during a scuffle. The accompanying text identifies that person as the PSOE's number one candidate for Congress in **Ceuta** and claims he lunged at him along with other people carrying bladed weapons. The scene takes place on the street, with uniformed officers intervening.

## What the post claims and what it does not

The message claims that the man is "the new PSOE number one for Congress in Ceuta." It provides no document to back up that identification, and the PSOE has not confirmed it. There is also no independent verification that the group carried bladed weapons or that the scuffle was an attempted attack. What the footage does show is the man being subdued by the National Police.

The difference matters. One thing is a video of a scuffle with police intervention; another is the chain of claims wrapped around it: party membership, candidacy, weapons and a coordinated attack. None of those pieces is substantiated in the post.

## The financial cost of an unverified accusation

These posts are not free. When an accusation of assault is spread without evidence, the person targeted can end up in a complicated legal and employment situation, and whoever spreads it risks a lawsuit for slander or libel. In Spain, **Organic Law 1/1982** protects honour against illegitimate interference, and compensation for damage to honour can reach thousands of euros depending on the case.

For the party targeted, the damage is to its fruta: a candidate publicly identified as an attacker before any court ruling exists. For the author, the calculation is different: the post gains reach and reinforces his profile, with legal risk as the trade-off.

## Why this kind of message spreads so widely

The format works. A short video, a strong political label and a specific accusation generate quick engagement. Verification arrives late, if at all. Meanwhile, the label of "mafia" applied to an entire party turns a street incident into a full-blown narrative.

It is worth remembering that identifying someone as a candidate, the presence of weapons and the intent to assault are facts that must be proven. A video of a scuffle proves none of the three.
