Olona denies that Vox defends "giving weapons to children" and advocates "reforming legitimate defense"

MADRID, 26 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Vox candidate for the Presidency of the Junta de Andalucía, Macarena Olona, ​​has transferred this Thursday that the opinion of her party regarding weapons is, as she has clarified, "reform legitimate defense in Spain" and not "give weapons to children". Likewise, she has denounced that the first vice president, Nadia Calviño, and the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, "accuse Vox of the killing of children in Texas."

"We do not defend giving weapons to children," the deputy insisted in an interview on esRadio, collected by Europa Press, in which she criticized the fact that this is the "umpteenth and not the last hoax" launched about Vox in Congress by several ministers "to avoid talking about the ruin and failure that (the government) brings to Spain."

When asked about Vox's position in relation to the possession of weapons, Olona pointed out that "legitimate defense in Spain has to be reformed." "It clearly has to be reformed because we have an old man who has spent months in prison for defending himself against a robber," he added, referring to the 77-year-old man who shot another 35-year-old with a shotgun, who entered to steal on the former's farm in the La Atalaya area of ​​Ciudad Real and, finally, he died from the gunshot.

In addition, he has pointed out that arms control "exists" and "is defended by the arms association itself" which "of course knows" that Vox supports the reform of legitimate defense that at this time "completely unprotect Spanish homes" .

On the other hand, Olona has criticized the Law of Guarantees of Sexual Freedom, known as the 'only yes is yes' law, which this Thursday faces its last procedure in the Lower House before being sent for processing in the Senate. For the Vox candidate, this rule "breaks the presumption of innocence and reverses the burden of proof criminalizing the male."

Olona has assured that it is "very serious" that now "consent has to be demonstrated" due to its "proving difficulty" for a matter that, moreover, "is already typified in the Penal Code." Along these lines, he has warned that "violations are penalized regardless of how you do it" so "the rapist will get the same" because "proportionality has been eliminated".

However, Olona has transferred that this law creates a "new category of victim", that of "useless", because, as he explained, there has been a "media and political silence" about the rape of a girl in Igualada (Barcelona) by an immigrant.

The norm obtained in the commission phase, last week, the support of all the parliamentary groups in Congress, with the exception of PP and Vox who decided to oppose it. The text does not finally include measures against prostitution.
