The Austrian People’s Party, part of the ruling coalition of Austria, used an image with Russian rubles in its PR campaign to combat inflation, writes edition of Heute.
On his social media account X, Chancellor of Austria Karl Nehammer posted a photo of a family of three throwing coins into a piggy bank. The chancellor’s followers noticed that the image shows Russian rubles, not euros. The publication checked the photo and found out that it was from Russia and published on stock resources under the authorship Evgenia Atamanenko.
At the same time, the image published by the Chancellor was accompanied by the words: “Second place in terms of anti-inflation measures in the EU. Believe in Austria.”
The photo was deleted from Nehammer’s account, and there are no traces of it on other social networks of the party, the publication notes. Now Nehammer’s account has published an image of a piggy bank, but this time the woman puts euros in it.
