The original source article https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/kamerleden-spra... has some interesting remarks. Because there are no video recordings its very hard to investigate this situation. The article also asks the question if it was: just an actor, a deepfake or an actor with general video altering software and that there is no way of knowing without the source material.

An other video in the personal time of the Dutch Prime minister https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2021/04/23/door-schrijver-gepublic... (disable JS for no paywall) there was a similar situation. Many people thought it was a deepfake or that the voice was altered or copied from an other video but later the government put out an statement that the video was real.

I wanted to share this because I saw multiple people claim that PGP may solve all problems but the problem is both ways. Real videos are also being labeled as deepfakes. So yes PGP will help solve a part of the problem but there is a bigger trust issue that needs to be solved.
