Mexico's President Confirms Person Sunbathing in Palace Window Was Real

President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that there was indeed a person who was 'sunbathing' in one of the windows of the National Palace. 'Initially, the corresponding area requested information from the area where this window is located and they informed that no one had ever gone out to sunbathe, later they reviewed it and it turns out that there was a person who had sat by the window that day,' the head of state recounted during her morning press conference this Monday. The head of state joked at the beginning and, laughing, admitted that there were many memes and speculations about the image. 'One must have great respect for what the National Palace represents as a historical heritage,' pointed out President Sheinbaum, who added that the person has already been sanctioned and was informed that it is not possible to do that.

This is how Infodemia denied the video of a person sunbathing. The Infodemia account denied the veracity of the video and even said it was made with Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to a detailed analysis. 'After the publication of a video in which a person is supposedly shown on a balcony of the National Palace, users on social networks published different videos with evident contradictions between them,' the post read, arguing the use of AI. When making a comparison of different videos, blue screens around the National Palace were mentioned and it was also argued the difference in architecture between the videos. Other supposed contradictions mentioned by Infodemia were: 'the supposed person who appears in the videos turns to opposite sides and has different clothing'.
