The one who was a candidate for the Board recalls that she "never" left the party, contrary to what the ultra leader says, and clarifies that she wants to continue in politics. She asks to meet with the president of the formation to ask him if they are still walking together


Macarena Olona asks Santiago Abascal for a clue.

The former national deputy and head of the Vox cartel in the previous Andalusian regional elections has announced that she is going to call the president of the party to ask for a meeting “for one reason: to ask him if we walk together for a better future for Andalusia and the rest of Spain ”.

Politics today released a thread of tweets that is a response to Abascal, who a day earlier had said that Olona "had left Vox" and that he was not able to explain what was happening to her, which generated confusion among his people.

"I have never left Vox," replied the former parliamentarian, who has barely aroused support among her former rank-and-file colleagues in Congress since her departure to Andalusia.

Olona resigned in August from the position he had obtained in the Andalusian Parliament in the elections of June 19 alleging "medical reasons", without clarifying what his position would be in the ultra party since then, either only in the Andalusian territory, or in all of Spain.

Less than a month after saying goodbye, the former deputy is lavish in acts and activities in which she attracts her faithful, such as during the section she traveled on the Camino de Santiago a few weeks ago, or when she attended a conference on Thursday at the University of Granada that ended tumultuously.

She hardly has party support in these acts, just as she did not have it on Thursday during the incidents between her supporters and her opponents, who clashed at the law school.

Granada was the province for which Olona obtained a seat in the Andalusian elections.

Later, I will call @Santi_ABASCAL and request a meeting with one reason only: to ask if we walk together for a better future for Andalusia and the rest of Spain.

Of our country and the Spanish.

They have no time to lose.

Whose side am I and want to be?

The former parliamentarian, who was Vox's

number two

in Congress, has begun this Friday to send messages to make it clear to her party colleagues, but also to the leader, who is still within Vox and who wants to continue in political activity.

“I have never left Vox for a basic reason: my heart goes out to each of the voters of @vox_es who love Spain and are proud of their flag.

With all its richness and diversity.

And I will defend it if necessary by walking it completely ”, she has written, surely referring to her walking the Camino de Santiago, which she has done accompanied by faithful.

She has publicly assured on several occasions that she has no intention of forming her own party.

Politics recalls that a conference is scheduled at the University of Murcia next Friday, September 23, "to talk about the rights of all Spaniards."

And it is in the following tweet that he summons Abascal: “Later, I will call Santi Abascal and request a meeting with one reason: to ask him if we walk together for a better future for Andalusia and the rest of Spain.

Of our country and the Spanish.

They have no time to lose.

Whose side am I and want to be?

And having said that, he has posted a photo in which he says that he is going to "Ibero-America" ​​to, he says, "promote Andalusia and its religious art, with the support of the rest of Spain, so that the art of our image-makers and our Faith and religious traditions transcend borders.

And they come, especially, to our brother towns”.

Olona's request collides with the silence that his party colleagues have maintained after his departure.

The maximum leader of the far-right party, Santiago Abascal, avoided giving details on Thursday in an interview on EsRadio about the current situation of Macarena Olona in the formation, although he stated that "she has left Vox" and that she considers her "free to do her life and defend what she wants.”

“I am not able to explain many things... once a person leaves Vox... to be a State attorney you cannot be affiliated with a party.

And she has returned to the State Bar,” he said.

Abascal showed his discomfort at the insistence of Federico Jiménez-Losantos, who reminded him that Olona (“our Macarena”, said the announcer) “did not leave Vox”.

“She is free to make her own life and defend what she wants.

He is a person who has left Vox and I cannot judge what he does, "added Abascal.

A day earlier, on TVE, the general secretary of Vox, Javier Ortega Smith, asked about her relationship with the former deputy, assured that he had "no relationship with her."

Olona landed in Andalusia with the credentials of being Vox's scourge to the Government in Congress, through very harsh interventions and even personal disqualifications.

He was one of the most popular faces of the party and was the trick that the national leadership wanted to play in this community to follow the path reached in Castilla y León and also enter the Government of the Junta.

Vox, for which Olona was then regionally responsible, achieved 14 deputies, three more than in the previous legislature, but far from the expectations that it had generated for itself.

🔸Santiago Abascal confirmed this morning that Macarena Olona is no longer a member of Vox.



At the end of July she announced that she was leaving politics for health reasons and two weeks ago she did not rule out returning to politics.
