• 23-J Olona, on a war footing to register his party: asks to "identify" the official who processes it to "protect him from political pressure"

Caminando Juntos, the party founded by Macarena Olona, is already registered in the Register of Associations and since this Thursday it is officially listed in the database of the Ministry of the Interior. This has been confirmed by the State's own lawyer through a video broadcast on social networks: "There is a party! We keep walking and unshackled!"

"We got it", they celebrate from Caminando Juntos. However, in order for the formation to attend the elections of the next 23-J it now needs to collect 21,700 signatures before June 16, corresponding to 0.1% of the census corresponding to the ten provinces for which it expects to run: Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Murcia, Alicante, Malaga, Cádiz, Las Palmas and Granada.

The number of signatures required could increase, since this Thursday since the formation has been announced the intention to expand the candidacies to new provinces.

The formation commanded by Olona has faced in recent days a series of "obstacles" that put at serious risk meeting the tight deadlines that the electoral advance had generated to be able to go to the elections of July 23.

This Wednesday, in fact, Olona delivered in extremis the necessary documentation in the Interior registry to correct the errors of form that the ministry detected and that prevented the party from registering. The State lawyer threatened to sue the Interior for "prevarication", understanding that other formations were given the go-ahead much sooner than hers, and even asked to "identify with name and surname" the official who should process the file to "protect him from political pressures".

The real challenge, once the administrative issue in the Interior is overcome, is the collection of signatures worth 0.1% of the census corresponding to the constituencies to which it plans to attend. Olona's intention is to "expand" the provinces in which there are lists of Walking Together, so the 21,700 endorsements that must be presented before June 16 will be, predictably, several thousand more.
