Macarena Olona is in Latin America on a tour to promote Andalusian sacred art. She is not a headline randomly generated by an algorithm wanting fun, but a fact, at least according to the version given by the former Vox deputy herself. Meanwhile, her party or former party or future party of hers – choose the version that seems most credible to you – is immersed in an unprecedented situation. Now it is their leaders who seem perplexed by an external threat that manifests itself with arrogance, half-truths or arguments that are only intended to ridicule. They are testing the same medicine that they have applied to other parties.
Olona is not secluded at home or in Latin America reflecting on her personal future. She is stirring up the hornet’s nest to unnerve the leaders who sent her to the Andalusian elections against her will and who were then stunned to see her leave the seat alleging health reasons.
Now he says that he already has it clear and that Santiago Abascal will be the first to find out when he returns from his trip. Until then, he will make you sweat. The girl from Alicante gave on Monday an interview with Carlos Herrera in the Cope that included a settling of accounts with his internal enemies. “What we have experienced after the Andalusian elections had never been experienced in my party,” she said, confirming that she believes that someone should pay for all this and that it will not be her.
He referred to “some leaks in the media that I absolutely identified with internal leaks that caused me a lot of pain.” Vox used to be “a family”, he commented, which will surely have surprised the local and regional leaders who are even told from Madrid how they should sit down and speak in public.
Olona has managed to break Vox’s image of unity, always favored by the fact that everyone is obliged to comply with what the national leadership orders. He has also admitted that the party is losing support. In a very revealing triumph of euphemism, he has said that he has met people “who have missed Vox.” It is something that the party would not admit even under torture. And Olona is with the knife poking into the wound and that smile with a sadistic point that he likes to put on when he is attacking his rivals.
From Abascal’s reaction last week in an interview with Federico Jiménez Losantos, you can see that it is hurting him. The presenter asked him about Olona’s situation and there the image of the Vox leader who supposedly is not afraid of anything or anyone was shattered.
It took four seconds that took forever to start responding and the beginning only made it clear that he did not know what to say: “No, I am not able to explain many things, Federico”.
If he was biting his tongue, the worst was later when he reported to everyone’s surprise that Olona had left the party: “I think that to be a State attorney you cannot be affiliated with a party.” That legal limitation does not exist, as Olona herself has made clear. She has not even returned to the State Attorney’s Office, since she has postponed his presumed return until December. Perhaps then neither, because from her words it follows that she is preparing to return to Vox. Not in Andalusia. It may well be that she intends to stand again as a candidate for Congress for the province of Granada in the general elections of 2023.
Olona has remained in the headlines with her participation in the summer on the Camino de Santiago with all the histrionics she is capable of. She was received with surprise for the health reasons that had prevented her from working in the Andalusian Parliament, but she did not put dozens of kilometers between chest and sword. After her, it was her turn for a brief tour of lectures at universities, whose first stage in Granada offered the image of her escorted by a large number of police officers to protect her from the protesters.
This Friday, he plans to give another similar conference in Murcia. It will probably translate into more photos, more headlines and Olona’s message that she is being persecuted for her ideas, not like those traitors in Vox that leaked news about her from their offices. Ortega Smith, is thinking of you.
Victimhood does not cause immediate effects. You have to invest in it. Olona has put in the header of her Twitter account the photo of her being escorted by the police in Granada.
Olona’s diva manners in Congress helped cement her fame among supporters of the extreme right. In line with her fellow seats, she did not spend much time explaining the party program. It was more rewarding to focus on aggressively attacking other people’s ideas. Like a bull, she likes to think of Vox. as Michael Myers in the ‘Halloween’ moviesis another way of describing them.
In her usual repertoire, there were threats to other politicians, accusations or promises that they would be papered in court because of her alleged legal genius. She always with a smile on her lips, because the others had to check that she was enjoying the moment.
There were no limits to the ammunition he used: “You called Ordóñez a Francoist and the next thing was the ETA shot and his murder,” he told Odón Elorza, a socialist deputy and former mayor of San Sebastián. Elorza and Ordóñez shared a government team in the City Council as mayor and deputy mayor. But who can give importance to the facts when what matters is destroying the reputation of the enemy and enjoying the cult of the followers?
Olona is seen wanting to use everything she has at hand to achieve her triumphant return. That Vox voters believe that without it there is no hope. For this reason, she has uploaded to Twitter an article by Juan Manuel de Prada on ABC that puts her in the broth. With the cheesy and smug style that characterizes him, the writer proceeds to break the ex-deputy apart. “From the right check, you thought to be queen, because you wanted Spain to venerate you alone. But you’ve only managed to be the target of cruel jokes, skits and grotesque and goofy satires. Macarena, stop the car, the pot is going away!
Olona evidently wanted her 400,000 followers on the social network to be well aware of how much she is hated for defending Spain by both despicable reds and resentful right-wingers. Abascal should save her at all costs, she is telling them. For Spain and for the pot inside Olona’s head.
