Olona backs officer who pushed a teacher: "Orders must be obeyed"
Macarena Olona, a former Vox MP, has backed the actions of the National Police officer who pushed a teacher during a protest. In a social media post, the politician said that "orders must be obeyed", triggering a wave of conflicting reactions.
Footage of the incident shows the officer moving the teacher aside as she blocked traffic during a demonstration. Some in public opinion see it as a proportionate act within the legitimate defence of public order. Others, however, view it as an abuse of authority and evidence of the authoritarian drift of the security forces. Olona, who broke with Vox in 2022, is thus back in the media spotlight with a firm stance: obeying orders comes above individual considerations.
The debate over the use of police force remains open, and Olona acts as a catalyst for irreconcilable positions. While some applaud her clarity, others see her words as a dangerous endorsement of institutional violence.
