The Romanian official was distributing fake news

Romanian politician of Catalin Radulescu believe in fake news that one of the Romanian cities held a meeting with UFOs. Moreover, he actively spread it on his page in Facebook.

It is reported by the Recorder.

At a time when other countries are actively fighting with the fake news, Romania was at the center of a rather ridiculous scandal.

The video that was circulated by major news sites of Romania, shows the arrival of a stranger. The authors have signed, what is the resonance event occurred on the outskirts of the town of Targovishte. The news spread, thousands of Romanians and even members of Parliament.

Video posted on two different Facebook pages without clear identification. One report said that the aliens arrived in târgovişte and the other that the meeting took place in Baku. The most funny was that the video captured an alien in his stereotypical way, with long limbs and a large head. The witness allegedly caught him on the phone when a visitor from another planet were moving toward the ship. The video resembles a film from the 1980s and it shows how the alien slowly rises to his ship and takes off.

Although the deception was obvious, and the source of the message was incorrect, many Romanians spread the news, believing in the truthfulness of what happened in Targoviste. Among these people was also Deputy Chairman of the ruling Social democratic party of Catalin Radulescu. He shared the news three times in half a day.
