Aldaia is one of the towns most affected by DANA and, since the floods occurred, The Bonaire shopping center has become the target of several hoaxes and misinformative content who claim, without evidence, that hundreds of people had died in their parking lot. On November 5, the director of the National Police, Francisco Pardo, said that they were about “hoaxes”, and that “fortunately no fatalities have appeared” in it.
These contents They do not provide evidence to support their message, but rather images or videos from other places that have no relation to the Bonaire shopping center, or manipulated audiovisual material.
“Bonaire shopping center. According to them, no deaths. What do you think of this leaving with escorted refrigerated trucks?” (sic). Several of the disinforming contents use videos or photographs of refrigerated trucks in the areas most affected by DANA to ensure that they are in Bonaire and that they would be used to remove bodies from the parking lot. They do not provide, however, any evidence that they really correspond to the shopping center.
In one of them, for example, It is a video of a truck escorted by cars from the Military Emergency Unit (UME) and is spread as if it were related to the Bonaire shopping center. However, they are images that were captured on October 31 at the Valencia fairgrounds, in Paterna, which was prepared to house the deceased during the DANA in October 2024.
An audio has also been broadcast through WhatsApp and other messaging systems in which it is heard saying that “They have brought a refrigerated trailer parked next to the shopping center [de Bonaire] and they want to take the bodies out at night (…)”. Director Francisco Pardo spoke about this in his appearance on November 5, saying that “A hoax was spread stating that there were many corpses inside: it was not true”. Furthermore, those who claim otherwise do not provide any evidence.
In addition to the images of the trucks that are not taken in Bonaire, Contents have been disseminated with scenes or situations that have occurred in other places to pass them off as the Bonaire shopping center.. An example is some statements from a firefighter, cropped to make it seem like he is saying that they hope that “on the second floor [del parking] there are fewer deaths.
The words were said by Pedro Cancho, firefighter of the Badajoz Provincial Council, on November 5 during the morning news program on Antena 3 and He was not referring to the Bonaire parking lot. but to a supermarket in Catarroja.
And another audio that has been released is from an alleged UME sergeant who says that “the Bonaire parking lot is a cemetery. […] How many children were there? At least 200 children” (sic). This without providing any evidence and, again, against the statements of the director of the National Police.
