The Wider Image: Spain: lawmakers in limbo
Irene Rivera, 46, a commercial helicopter pilot and a new lawmaker in Ciudadanos party, poses for a photograph in front of the Spanish parliament in Madrid, Spain January 27, 2016. [Becoming a lawmaker] "was not something that was on my life's roadmap. But one day I heard [the party’s leader] Albert Rivera talking on the radio and I knew that my life had taken a new direction, to help him create a new project, which reflected and came from civil society. That's why, and only for that reason, I entered politics, because I'm a civilian before anything else," she said. REUTERS/Andrea Comas SEARCH "LAWMAKER COMAS" FOR THIS STORY.
