A post on social media X shared a video showing Hungarian MPs throwing the European Union flag out of parliament window, suggesting the incident would be recent and questioning whether it would symbolize "the beginning of the end of the EU". The post caption implies that the event would have occurred in the present.
However, the Hungarian press reported this episode in February 2014, which means the video is approximately 12 years old. The X post presents the content as if it were a current event, creating the misleading impression that it occurred recently.
The article exposes the misinformation by clarifying that the incident already was more than a decade old, not representing any new event related to Hungary and the European Union. The misinformation circulated again on social media, misleading users about the actual date of the event.
