Macarena Olona Choclán (born 14 May 1979), is a Spanish politician and state attorney, member of the Congress of Deputies since 2019 for Vox.[1][2]

Born in Alicante, Olona graduated in Laws for the University of Alicante in 2003 with extraordinary prize and entered the State Lawyers Corps in 2009.[3] Between 2013 and 2018 she was chief lawyer of the State of the Basque Country.[4] Transferred to the Mercasa general secretary in August 2017, the following year she collaborated in uncovering the Mercasa case that involved PP and PSOE in the payment of millionaire bites and cost overruns of more than 300% in foreign contracts.[5]

In the April 2019 elections she was elected Deputy and then re-elected in the November 2019 election, representing in both cases the Province of Granada.[6]

She is known for her virulent criticism of the government of Pedro Sánchez, accusing it of "genocide" for its management of the Covid-19 pandemic or of wanting to impose the Venezuelan "chavist model" in Spain. She favours the establishment of a government of "national salvation" involving the army. She is opposed to laws on LGBT or gender violence.[7]

On 12 March 2020 during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it was confirmed she had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.[8]
