SPAIN has elected its first black female MP.
Podemos’s Rita Bosaho, 50, was one of a record 138 female MPs voted in on December 20.
The Equatorial Guinea-born Bosaho moved to Spain 30 years ago and worked as a nurse before becoming involved in activism in Alicante .
Bosaho said: “Why is it so striking that a black woman could end up in parliament? What does that say about us all being integrated?”
Bosaho said she intends to campaign on behalf of women’s rights.
