Andalusia will face regional elections in 2022 that its president, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, places in June or October. A new electoral pulse in which the parties are already moving their pieces. And Vox could present a heavyweight: Macarena Olona.
At the moment the formation tries to attract the working-class vote and Alicante politics has wanted to vindicate the figure of one of the most mediatic Andalusian politicians, but who in life stood at the ideological antipodes of Vox: Julio Anguita.
The strategy of the extreme right group to win votes to the right and to the left has led them to praise the Cordovan politician, who died in 2020, and who was one of the great leaders of the left for several decades. In fact, in his last years of life Anguita was dispatched at ease against the formation led by Abascal.
“I have wanted to hear again one of my favorite political speeches. From a politician who has undoubtedly marked the history of Spain , with whom I have great ideological differences, not so much in the diagnoses of the problems as in the solutions that she proposed . I have spent some time alone with Julio Anguita “, Macarena Olona began her speech at a rally in Lepe.
“Don Julio, without a doubt, was a man of the people, a man who loved the people, a man who today would be deeply ashamed of those who claim to be on the left and defend the working class. I mean both the political parties like those shellfish unions, absolutely bought and bribed to be logistical and political platforms for the Popular Front government, “she continued.
The Vox deputy in Congress has assured that today the Andalusian politician would feel deeply proud of his training for being the one that represents the fighting spirit of the working class.
“This is not going to the right or to the left. I can assure you that today Don Julio Anguita of whom she would feel deeply proud is Vox because she would see in Vox the fighting spirit that she always maintained,” she claimed.
Anguita’s views on Vox
However, before his death, the historic leader of the United Left could already see the rise of Vox and in several appearances she made his position on the party and what it represented clear. And taking into account what she said, there is no doubt that Olona could not be more wrong.
Before the general elections of November 2019, Anguita asked for the vote for United We Can and charged against the party led by Vox, pointing out that the extreme right and honesty were incompatible.
“Honesty and the extreme right are incompatible things,” she commented, before delving into the subject. “In the Spanish extreme right there have already been cases of corruption, of militants expelled for denouncing dark practices,” she continued.
“I have not seen the extreme right talk about the situation of workers, pensions, on the contrary, their leaders talk that it is necessary to give priority to businessmen, putting the Ibex companies and the self-employed in the same bag, who They are neither more nor less than authentic exploited, that is to say, this extreme right does not care about anything socially, she has stated.
“It also uses very curious arguments: they speak of the Cid Campeador as a reference and he was a mercenary who sold his sword to the highest bidder. She uses similes from history loaded with romanticism, but which are false. It is an extreme right that smells like mothballs, like dandruff, without a project for the future. It is homophobic, “she pointed out.
Anguita ended her speech with a message that now comes to the hair about the use of her words.
” I do not like that these people use me. People who do not have a job, who are in financial difficulties or who are living poorly, and who believe that the solution lies in the extreme right will already be disappointed,” he concluded.
In another speech, the former general coordinator of IU said that Vox’s speech “should be treated with irony.”, At the same time that she pointed out that “it is not necessary to curl up because it is not worth arguing with barbarities.”
“His speech is fought with reason, with patience and, above all, with irony because there are many things that cannot be taken seriously. They are an authentic contradiction. With much pedagogy and affection, it is necessary to address the voters who believe that when you talk about country and flag, you are talking about what is important. They are only shouting their sorrows and miseries “, she reflected, before concluding that” irony is the best way to deal with perverse speeches “.
