The general secretary of the Vox parliamentary group, Macarena Olona , has been expelled from the Permanent Deputation after being insistently required by the president of the Congress, Meritxell Batet, to not interrupt the session.

Olona, ​​along with her groupmates and occupying the seats that correspond to Citizens, intended to review the agenda of the plenary to discuss the serious events of Catalonia in recent days. Vox requires that the exception state be activated. The deputy has shown multiple images of the weekend riots in Barcelona and has raised her protest at the fact that the matter of urgency was not addressed at the headquarters of the national sovereignty.

Olona argued between microphone cuts that her group had submitted a request to discuss the riots in Catalonia that, in her opinion, are nothing more than a "serious attempt to count the constitutional order and not just a public order problem." "Is it normal to talk about the serious crisis against the unity of Spain in the sets and not where it has to be done, which is in the House that represents the national sovereignty of the Spanish people?" He asked.

Batet has called her to order up to three times and has finally decided her expulsion. However, the requirements of the president of the Chamber have been ignored by Olona, ​​who has resisted leaving the Constitutional Chamber of Congress where the session is held, until the ushers have accompanied her outside the plenary.

Olona has even accused of "indignity" the members of the PP that did not support her demand. In the halls, the deputy has described her expulsion as "spermic" and has accused Batet of "flagrantly violating" her institutional role to "support the Government's action in Catalonia".

Vox occupies Citizen seats

Before this encounter, Vox has starred in another controversy when he has deliberately occupied the seats reserved for the deputies of Citizens based on the distribution made in advance by the Chamber for the distribution of parliamentarians.

The deputies of Vox have decided to skip and ignore the distribution with the argument that it was only a "proposal" and not something mandatory. In its statements to the press, after being expelled, Olona has indicated that in the Hemicycle, where the seats are fixed, the Chamber can apply the "parliamentary roller" to send them to the "chicken coop" but that in the Permanent Delegation they do not have to "shut up" and "endure" a secondary location. "They have no right to impose it, not here," he said.

The PP parliamentary spokeswoman, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, has accused them of trying to use Congress as a television set to carry out their electoral campaign.
