Debunking the Spanish Coup Video
A video circulating on social media claims to show Spanish soldiers storming the country's congress and arresting politicians for corruption.
"CIVIL GUARD AND THE SPANISH ARMY HAVE JUST STORMED THE CONGRESS OF DEPUTIES AND ARRESTED CORRUPT LAWMAKERS"
However, according to AAP FACTCHECK, the video has been generated using artificial intelligence and there are no media reports of any such event.
- The video shows a group of armed men bursting into a parliamentary-style chamber and pointing weapons at men in suits.
- Several people are shouting in Spanish in the video.
- Some social media users are calling for other countries, such as the UK and Australia, to follow suit.
AAP FACTCHECK has confirmed that the video does not show real events, but rather a creation of artificial intelligence.
