Vox praises that Lastra leaves to "take care of her son", but Olona questions that she has to "resign due to her pregnancy"

MADRID, 18 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The spokesman for the Vox Political Action Committee, Jorge Buxadé, has indicated this Monday that it seems "very good" that the PSOE deputy Adriana Lastra has resigned as 'number two' of the party to "take care of herself and her baby" , while the now spokesperson for the formation in the Andalusian Parliament, Macarena Olona, ​​has questioned that she has been "forced to resign due to her pregnancy".

As explained in a statement, Lastra has decided to resign as deputy general secretary of the PSOE because she is going to have to face a long sick leave. "Given the difficulty of combining the demands of rest and care, essential in my current situation, with the intensity required by the leadership of the party, I have submitted my resignation," she says.

"A woman should not be forced to resign because of her pregnancy. Signed: Vox," Olona wrote in a message on her Twitter account at Europa Press, without expressly citing Lastra, who only resigns from her organic position, but maintains her seat in Congress.

On the contrary, in the press conference that he offered at the party's national headquarters, Buxadé said that "it seems very good to him" that Lastra leave his responsibilities in the PSOE due to that personal circumstance.

"She has every right to reduce her activity and take care of herself and her baby," she explained, before adding that she is "very happy about the pregnancy of any Spanish woman" and wishing the deputy to enjoy her pregnancy and that the birth of your child is "wonderful".
