AI-generated dystopia about election riots enabling a Sánchez coup in Spain

There is no indication whatsoever that a coup is being prepared through election riots. It is a scenario imagined by an AI at a user's request, with no evidence, and presenting it as a real plan is disinformation.

## A work of fiction turned into suspicion

The story begins with a very specific assignment: asking an artificial intelligence to imagine serious riots on election day and how a prime minister would try to hold on to power at all costs. The result is a speculative tale. It is not a report, not a leak, and it does not come from any official source. It is fiction generated by a language model.

From there, the text jumps from the realm of imagination to that of political suspicion. It suggests that **Pedro Sánchez** would be capable of carrying out such a plan and that journalists and public officials would justify it. None of that is supported by a single fact. It is a hypothesis built on top of another hypothesis.

## Riots, suspension of elections and foreign interference

The scenario includes two recurring elements. The first is riots across Spain that would serve as an excuse to suspend the elections. The text itself acknowledges that it finds this part hard to believe, because it would require a highly sophisticated operation. The second is the interference of a foreign power, with **Russia** singled out as the suspected force behind the vandalism in **Barcelona**.

That claim comes, according to the story, from having heard it on the radio. There is no evidence to back it up. Spanish electoral law does not provide for suspending elections because of street riots, and a coup is not carried out with a decree. These are real obstacles that the imagined scenario skips over.

## Why this story sounds plausible but is not

The text says it outright: four years ago this would have sounded like science fiction, and today it does not. That sense of plausibility is the problem. A scenario generated by an AI, with no sources, no evidence and no identifiable author, circulates as if it were analysis. The repetition of proper names and acronyms gives it an appearance of rigor.

There is no new fact here. There is an exercise in imagination, an unsupported suspicion about **Russia**, and a chain of assumptions. Treating fiction as a real plan is, literally, disinformation. And it is worth remembering that claims about electoral crimes or about the government's conduct should always be checked against official, verifiable sources.
