The poison is several years old but regularly emerges on social networks, with the aim of serving ideas against veiled women, Muslims, immigrants ... Lately, this faked photo has a new location, although Internet users many this time point their fingers at its fallacious nature.

In the image, we can see about fifteen women wearing full veils, grouped behind barriers.

At the top right, the blue logo for family allowances is clearly visible.

And at the head of the image is captioned "Sarcelles, French town located in Ile-de-France".

Is this the real context?

No.

Cold in the back .. DELETE CAAF C EVERYTHING !!!. And others .. Simple no ???

FAKE OFF

For at least six years, this photomontage has been all the rage in far-right circles.

Although the image had already been discredited by several media in 2014, the cliché gained popularity a year later, when an MEP from the National Rally (then still known as the National Front) posted it on her Twitter account.

By adding details, such as the fact that the scene would have taken place in front of the Rosny-sous-Bois CAF, on December 9, 2014.

Without consensus around the location of the image, the latter was even exported and landed on foreign European identity sites, where it is located sometimes in Marseille on a Polish site, sometimes in Paris for a Spanish activist from the party of extreme right Vox, even in Brussels for a Catholic conservative site.

By comparing the photomontage to the original photo, easily found thanks to the Google reverse search tool, we realize that part of the image has been cropped so that we do not notice an important detail : a typical London underground sign.

The scene therefore took place in England and not in France.

According to AFP, the image was taken outside the Paddington Green police station in central London.

The author of the assembly simply added, quite blatantly, the family allowance logo to fool Internet users.
