Spanish opposition party creates deepfake video with prime minister's wife

The video, which has been viewed over 2.3 million times on X, shows manipulated statements from Pedro Sanchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez, and other PSOE members, including José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Leire Diez.

The video is a response to a campaign video from Pedro Sanchez, where he says ‘if it’s left-wing to…’

The use of deepfakes in the video has been criticized by Spain’s minister for digital transformation, Óscar Loópez, who calls it ’extremely serious'.
