This Thursday, Macarena Olona has visited Everything is a lie to present her new political project, Caminando Juntos, ahead of the general elections on July 23. The former Vox deputy has spoken with Marta Flich and the commentators of the Cuatro program about the party she leads, but she has also faced her past interventions when she was still part of Santiago Abascal’s team.
Now totally unmarked from her previous party, Olona has had the opportunity to make a series of revelations regarding the operation of Vox, dismantling part of the discourse that characterizes the far-right group. Among them is the alleged diversion of public money to the Disenso Foundation, directly linked to the party.
Javier Chicote, one of the regular collaborators of Everything is a lie, brought up Olona’s previous instances regarding this alleged illegal financing, something that surprised the Caminando Juntos candidate. “This was not prepared,” Macarena admitted as she showed the message on her shirt: “Model 347, boo,” her garment read.
“When the interview with Jordi Évole was held, only two weeks before the accounts of the Disenso Foundation had been published,” Olona explained. “On the occasion of the publication of these accounts, I verified that almost 5 million euros of public money received by the party had been diverted to a foundation that is not subject to the same controls that are submitted to political parties,” he continued.
Macarena Olona has gone on to explain the meaning of the message on her shirt. “The only way to know what that money has been spent on is through the 347 model, which only the Treasury has, in addition to the foundation itself and the party,” she has assured about the operation of this mechanism.
It is through the publication of Vox’s annual accounts that Olona finds out that “the amount that has been diverted to that foundation is higher” and has detailed how much money it is: “There are already 6 million euros of subsidies received in town halls, in Congress, affiliate accounts, etc.”, he recounted in Everything is a lie, to denounce that it is a contradiction of his speech, “against the beach bars”.
