«Politics as a rigged game». Public opinion, elections, and democratic accountability during the last Spanish election

This article aims to present and analyse some examples of "Paradoxical Reinforcing Process" (PRP) in electoral consensus building, with a specific focus on the last general and municipal elections held in Spain in 2023. The political dynamics of the elections, with Pedro Sanchez's government defending its actions against the right-wing opposition parties Partido Popular and Vox, offer a relevant scenario to explore how Ai-generated content and tools can influence and shape, not only in a negative way, electoral behaviour.
