Moldova’s election debates: 6 streams, 368 claims, zero chance of missing anything.
The Challenge
Moldova’s 2025 parliamentary election mattered - EU or Russia, everyone’s eyes were on it. Stop Fals, Moldova’s fact-checking team, had 6 key debates to cover over the course of one week. Each debate lasted for 45 minutes to an hour. Candidates talking fast about pensions, energy crises, Transnistria, TikTok manipulation, all of it.
You can’t analyse what you can’t catch. And you definitely can’t cover six debates back-to-back without burning out your small team or missing half the claims. Stop Fals needed every statement captured, categorised, and ready for verification—because after each debate, they went live with their own TV program to summarise it. No time to hesitate or rewatch.
The Solution in Action
We deployed Factiverse for real-time claim extraction in Moldova. Our system pulled 368 checkable claims from the candidates' speeches, tagged by theme - EU vs Russia, economic hardship, and democratic integrity.
Stop Fals got the claims within minutes. Instead of analysing everything, they picked what really mattered, added context, and went live with findings minutes after each political debate ended. No missing crucial moments. Just complete coverage, sorted into the narratives actually shaping voter opinion.
What Changed: 100% debate coverage with the team they already had. Instead of scrambling to transcribe and rewatch, they did verification and analysis—the work only humans do well.
They mapped the entire election landscape, not just isolated claims. That’s what matters when democracy’s direction is on the line. We handled the tedious extraction. They focused on the true power of journalism and holding politicians accountable.
Signal through the noise
We’re the only team extracting verifiable claims across video, audio, and text simultaneously in 100+ languages.
It means whether you’re covering elections in Bucharest, parliament in Copenhagen, or climate summits in Brazil, you get the same coverage capability most newsrooms can only dream of having for English-language content. While everyone else is building AI to replace journalists, we’re building it to handle the tedious parts, so your team can actually do the journalism that holds power accountable.
