Councillor who cannot stop taking off her clothes

16 April 2007

HUELVA – A councillor from the conservative Popular Party has caused a stir again by posing naked on the cover of this week’s issue of the country’s most sensationalist magazine.

Maria Dolores Jimenez, a councillor in Lupe, Huelva, south west Spain, caused a controversry in January when she posed for a local magazine.

She said she agreed to the pictures “to provoke”.

But now she has gone one step further and appeared naked on the front cover of Interviu, the nation’s  biggest selling magazine which has a diet of investigations and soft porn.

In a centre spread, she says she is not a rebel and claims the only reason people are interested in her is that she is a member of the normally strictly conservative Popular Party.

When Jimenez posed for the pictures in the local cultural magazine Lepe Urbana, they provoked a rare show of politica unity.

The local Popular Party mayor Manuel Andres Gonzalez said the photoshoot was a “strictly personal” affair which had nothing to do with Jimenez’s political career.

Jimenez, 35, an engineer, told the magazine her favourite part of her body was her mouth, though “people always look at my eyes”.

Jimenez added: “One day I think I will run out of the door and not stop like Forest Gump.”

Opposition parties supported her decision to pose with no clothes on.

María Bella Martín, of the socialists, said the pictures were tasteful.
