A refugee camp in Prague? The election campaign sparked a dangerous hoax again
The pre-election version of the lie
Matějk’s contribution is a new “pre-election” version of the lie, which has already appeared on social networks and has also been demonstrably refuted.
What is it all about in this current version? There used to be an autocamp on the site of the “n refugee camp”, after which there was still advertising left, but at the gate there is now a “discreet announcement that it is closed. Pre-election agitation: “” There are many municipal flats in Prague which, after their inhabitants have died, are empty, but are not officially available to Czech citizens, immigrants will, of course, receive them free of charge if they decide to stay here! (Unofficial information from one of the officials of the Prague City Hall).

Then the hatched passage at the refugee camp, consisting of two parts, appears in the hoax. According to the first, it has already been built: “Enrichment as a gift from our right hand !!! It is necessary to spread it quickly, because in Prague the Hřibovci are raising their heads again. Thanks to the Pirates, a new refugee camp is being built in Prague. “
According to the second, it is still being built: “During the reign of the Pirates at the Prague City Hall, a refugee camp is being built in Prague, which is located in the vicinity of the Trója Shipyard! The camp will provide immigrants with sufficient space for accommodation and leisure activities. It is worth mentioning that within walking distance is the restored Troja footbridge, which will direct those interested to the newly renovated park Stromovka. The park will surely provide ‘enjoyment’ to everyone from their abandoned African and Asian homes! There will be a brothel. It only takes a few hours for those primitives to devastate it there. ”
The reason why the two parts are different is simple – as we will see, the second part, which is just about building, is taken from an older version of the hoax, which has just been added. Hoax concludes with an appeal written in capital letters, which returns to the question of the election: “SO REMEMBER IT IN THE ELECTIONS… AND SHARE THIS CONTRIBUTION IN THE MOST NUMBER !!!”

The whole post is, of course, completely nonsense. “Prague has not built any camp, it is a hoax that has been spreading on networks for a long time,” Vít Hofman, a spokesman for the City of Prague, told Deník.
The fact that this is an extended lie of an older date is evidenced, for example, by the mention of the “renewed Trojan Footbridge”. Work on the reconstruction of the Troja footbridge, which collapsed in December 2017, began in November 2019 and the footbridge was put back into operation in October 2020. So if anyone described the current situation in Prague’s Troja, they would not write about the “renewed footbridge” because it is and traffic is very busy, especially on weekends. In short, the distributors are a little careless in their copying and re-distribution of old hoaxes.
It has been circulating for over three years
And this lie has a really long genesis. Specifically, Deník caught a hoax about “migrants by the Vltava” as early as March 2018, when this misinformation had been circulating in chain mails and social networks for some time. At that time, it was complemented by a photomontage of the Prague embankment and several tourist tents, created in such a way that it seemed that a kind of tent town had sprung up in Prague on the river bank.
With the publication of this photomontage on the front page of the printed Diary, the Diary Against Fake News section even started. Within the edition of the time, of course, the whole lie was refuted.
It reappeared around the turn of last year and this year, and again began running in chain mails and, for example, the Internet, for example on social networks, in the group “General Blašek in the EU Parliament!” With more than 7,000 members.
From the embankment to Troy
However, the new version looked a little different than the one in 2018. Instead of the once unmasked photomontage, it was accompanied by a picture of one of the buildings in the Prague shipyard Troja and a tent camp consisting of party tents near it.
The text of this version was basically an abbreviated version of the hoax, which is still spreading: it also stated that the refugee camp is located next to the Troja shipyard and near the “restored” Troja footbridge, which is said to be accessible on foot. Some formulations were completely identical to the current hoax.

On January 27, 2021, he pointed out this version of the server Watchdog, which at the same time published its disclosure. This was done by the student grammar school in Pilsen Oldřich Neumann, who noticed that the photo from Troja captures the greenery and trees in full leaves, so it does not correspond to the winter season, and using images from a webcam recording what was happening directly in the boating area there is no tent camp.
To answer the question of where the parties took place – they were temporarily built there in September 2020, when the World Water Slalom Championships took place on the premises, which Neumann also verified on the Canoe Slalom Prague Facebook page. After the end of this sports meeting, they were dismantled again.
A lie has a long life
At present, this lie is already spreading without photography, and the purpose of its further deletion is to influence pre-election preferences, which is why it now contains appeals concerning elections.
although it has been rebutted and there are clear signs of unreliability, some internet users are accompanied by comments suggesting that they are willing to believe it.

“And we’ll end up in France, let the moron move them home !! The streets of Paris were devastated after mass illegal immigration from Africa decimated one of Europe’s largest cities and tourist destinations. because these young African men without skills and job prospects – who are unlikely to have been granted asylum and, if they are, are likely to depend on government aid – are wandering around, followed by crime and rape. The danger is so widespread that French citizens avoid these areas and the police have stopped guarding the centers of illegal immigrants infected with crime, “writes a user acting under the name Iva Hozová in a discussion under the hoax.
Unfortunately, it is a well-known fact that hoax users refuse to take into account details and information that do not fit into the story they want to believe.
