Conspiracy Theorists Falsely Blame Slovak MP for Food Stand Regulation
Share:
Internet users have falsely blamed Alojz Hlina, a Slovak member of parliament, for strict regulations that led to fines for a traditional bread seller who failed to use proper Slovak language diacritics on his receipts. A viral graphic circulating online incorrectly attributes the language requirements to Hlina, though he had no involvement in creating the regulation. The case of the fined "langoš" seller - who sells a popular fried bread snack - has been exploited by conspiracy theorists for political purposes, spreading misinformation about which officials were responsible for the language law enforcement.
