Dutch media on October 27 continued its intense focus on the upcoming elections, with the use of AI-generated images in political campaigning becoming a central point of contention. The day began with reports of two PVV parliament members anonymously attacking Timmermans with fake images (de Volkskrant), leading to GroenLinks-PvdA filing a complaint.
As the day progressed, PVV leader Wilders apologized to Timmermans for the AI images, calling them "inappropriate and unheard of" (Het Parool). However, Timmermans found the apology insufficient, stating that the PVV members should no longer be in parliament (Metro Nieuws, Het Parool).
The issue escalated into the evening during a televised debate, where Wilders and Timmermans directly clashed over the AI-generated photos (NRC), marking the topic as a defining feature of the day's political discourse and the ongoing campaign.
