- The claim appears to use 2024 data (3,874 incidents, ~10.6 per day) while implying it describes the current situation (2025). The actual 2025 figure is 2,888 incidents (~7.9 per day), which the official report describes as a 25% decrease from 2024.
- The 2025 data was already public before the session date (e.g., Lrytas article of 2026-05-26 reporting the NKSC 2025 figures), so the MEP could have known the correct figure.
- The official report notes the decrease was partly due to changes in reporting/counting, but the headline decline of 25% is the relevant context the claim omits.
