Spanish MP, Más Madrid/Sumar
During Spain's last presidency, we secured the AI Act, the European regulation on artificial intelligence, but here in Spain we have the opportunity to create laws and protocols that are much more protective of human rights and, above all, focused on generative AI. [...] This initiative seeks to focus on Spanish electoral law by adding a criminal offense for political candidates who use both deepfakes and generative AI to generate disinformation and manipulate the electorate.AI Verified source (2024-05-20)

The quote directly supports the full policy: it says the initiative would amend Spanish electoral law by 'adding a criminal offense' for candidates who use 'deepfakes and generative AI to generate disinformation and manipulate the electorate,' which is clear support for criminalizing deepfakes and malicious AI use in electoral campaigns.

The quote explicitly backs "adding a criminal offense" for candidates who use "deepfakes and generative AI to generate disinformation and manipulate the electorate," which clearly supports criminalizing such AI misuse in electoral campaigns.

The HuffPost España article published on 2024-05-20 contains the two quoted Spanish passages at lines 60-61 and explicitly attributes them to Sumar deputy Tesh Sidi; the supplied English text is a faithful translation with an allowed omission marked by [...], and the stored author, date, and source URL match the source.

Disputed
The HuffPost España source does attribute Spanish remarks to Tesh Sidi about Spain having the opportunity to "crear leyes y protocolos" and adding a "delito penal" for candidates who use deepfakes/generative AI; the same wording appears in an EFE/Infobae republication. But the submitted English version is not exact/verbatim: "Spain can create stronger laws" omits the "laws and protocols" and human-rights framing, and "It targets campaign manipulation" does not appear as a direct Sidi quote in the source.
