Macarena Olona already speaks of Vox as "the party of the alpha male"

Macarena Olona keeps her swords high with Vox, the formation from which she separated in July last year after having been one of its most media leaders. Olona broke the Vox card due to discrepancies with the leadership led by Santiago Abascal and since then the confrontation has been open-hearted. Not only has he distanced himself from the main postulates of the extreme right, which he embraced when he was a spokesperson in Congress, but he has turned towards feminism -at least in his statements- and now he refers to Vox as "the party of the alpha male." This is how Olona expresses himself in the interview with Jordi Évole that will be broadcast this Sunday on the program Lo de Évole, on laSexta.

"If someone at Vox has the impression that you cannot leave the alpha male party without asking for permission or authorization, they have been deeply wrong with me, they have been fucking wrong," says Olona, ​​in one of the cuts of the interview, in which he refers to the attacks he has received since he left the ultra formation, which he accuses in the interview of wanting to "destroy" it with "hoaxes" about his mental health, and of doing it "out of fear".

"My exformation is spreading a series of hoaxes, also they do not go head-on, with respect to me," says the former leader of Vox. "In some cases I can come out and defend myself, but as I told you before I understand why they are doing it. It responds to fear," she says. "That they are meeting with journalists, with relevant people, to say that I am crazy, that I have mental health problems, is very unfair. Not only because it is an absolute lie, but because I have given everything for that project... They need to destroy me Olona adds.

The conversation is long and, in one of the cuts, after the former leader of Vox denounces that there is homophobia, racism and Nazis in the formation, Évole asks her: "Have you discovered now that there are Nazis in Vox?" She responds with an eloquent: "Man, man...".

In the television interview, he also assures, and it is relevant coming from someone who has been at the top of the far-right formation, that decisions about the party are not always made from within. "I can only say about Santi that he is a good person, but he has limitations," he says, when Évole asks him about Abascal. And he adds. "It is evident that Santi is not free, the decisions about Vox are not always made in Vox, nor by the visible faces."

Olona also settles accounts with the general secretary of Vox, Javier Ortega Smith. When Évole asks him if Ortega Smith was jealous of her, he replies: "He has never come face to face with me, if he has something against me. What do you want me to tell you? It only shows that he is not the smartest." Olona has pointed to Ortega Smith as one of those responsible for his departure from Vox from the moment he tore up his card, when he directly accused him of having made interested leaks during the Andalusian electoral campaign. At that time, Olona already described Vox as an exclusive party and lacking in internal democracy.

Since he left Vox. Macarena Olona has once again practiced as a State lawyer. Two weeks ago, she made public her salary of 7,850 euros per month, in charge of the Ministry of Justice, to "deny" that she seeks to continue living from political office. "They tell you that we are the same. That now I only seek to continue living from politics. The reality is that I choose to continue serving the Spanish. Since my independence," he wrote on his Twitter account on January 31, along with an extract from BBVA with his salary.
