Macarena Olona continues to make people talk after her controversial departure from Vox almost a year ago. The former deputy from the far-right formation continues to generate conversation on the networks due to messages that baffle more than one: whoever gave the toughest speeches in favor of the ideology of Abascal’s party seems to have experienced a deep (and unusual, think many) ideological transformation.
This Wednesday, on the occasion of Pride Day, Olona has launched a strong defense of the LGTBI collective —impact image included—, once again provoking all kinds of comments.
The photo. This is a non-real image. The figures of Olona and Sumar’s candidate, Yolanda Díaz, are united through the magic of photoshop, simulating a kiss. An LGTBI flag is drawn in the upper left corner. Macarena Olona has also included a message: “Let’s burst the closets”, in addition to the hashtag “
The context. The former Vox member is also trying to attract a bit of attention for her new political formation Caminando Juntos, which will finally not be able to present lists in Madrid and Barcelona for this 23J, although it will be able to run for the constituencies of Granada, Alicante, Seville, Cádiz, Málaga , Murcia, Salamanca, Palencia, Segovia and Valencia.
Metamorphosis. If we look back, we find a Macarena Olona who defended that conversion therapies for sexual orientation should not be prohibited. The former Vox deputy, in the debate on a non-legal proposal of Citizens to prohibit this type of practice, stated that it would mean “prohibiting homosexuals from going to therapy to find their identity.” Almost three years later and after her departure from her party, Olona’s speech seems to have evolved radically.
The echo. Many users have responded to the image with all kinds of messages amazed (or not so surprised) by what they were seeing.
