Later, another ship, called Borkum, who, according to media such as EiTB, Basque public television, was suspected of also bringing weapons to Israel, announced his decision not to stop at the port of Cartagena, in Murcia, and continue your journey until Slovenia to finally leave its burden in the Czech Republic. The controversy has circulated on social networks like X different currents misinformation, like this post in which it is stated: “Minister Albares publicly acknowledging that the freighter Borkum is carrying a cargo of weapons for Israel. 'This is the first ship we have detected.' No, you have not detected it. You have denied it until you have been caught with the ice cream cart (sic). The post is accompanied by an interview with José Manuel Albares, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which he states that “this is the first case, it is the first ship that we have detected with a shipment of weapons for Israel.” However, this is false. The minister was not talking about Borkum, but by Marianne Danica. This is confirmed by the communication department of Exteriors to INFOVERITAS. ## **Albares was talking about the Marianne Danica ship in the interview** To verify the veracity of the viral message, INFOVERITAS has gone to to the official YouTube channel of RTVE Noticias, since the interview was broadcast on Friday, May 17, on the program La Hora de La 1. Journalist Silvia Intxaurrondo asks José Manuel Albares about the Government's refusal to a ship loaded with weapons for Israel to stop in Spain, and above all If this was the first case, the minister responds as follows: “This is the first case, it is the first ship that we have detected with a shipment of weapons for Israel.” Albares also declares that “no new export licenses are granted for weapons from Spain to Israel since October 7 (…)”. In fact, the entire program of La Hora de La 1 is available on the website of RTVE, prior registration. Intxaurrondo opens its morning with the following headline: “It's the early morning news, at midnight the owner of the freighter Borkum has communicated to the Maritime Captaincy that it would not dock in the port of Cartagena (…). The Borkum, therefore, refuses to enter our waters hours later that the Government denies docking in any Spanish port to a ship, the Marianne Danica, who does carry weapons for Israel.” Therefore, the journalist's question to José Manuel Albares was related to the first ship, the Marianne Danica, and not to the Borkum. However, the labels of the program imply that the question and the answer are about the second. In this sense, to verify that the minister's response referred to said first ship, from INFOVERITAS we have contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From the entity's communication department They confirm that Albares was, indeed, referring to Marianne Danica. ## **INFOVERITAS verifies that…** It is false that José Manuel Albares has recognized that the freighter Borkum will carry weapons for Israel. Journalist Silvia's question Intxaurrondo and the Foreign Minister's response referred to the ship Marianne Danica. This is also confirmed by the communication department of the ministry to INFOVERITAS. ## **Sources** Telecinco and EiTB News Interview with José Manuel Albares in La Hora de La 1 Full program for May 17 of La Hora de La 1 Consult the communication department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sessile weapons Borkum ship Israel Share.
