Ex-Porn Star Running for Mayor in Croat Town

Lidija Sunjerga, a former porn actress, has found her way to the top of the independent list of candidates and entered the race for mayor in the Croatian town of Kastela, reports the Globus weekly.

Source: javno.hr

She says she will fight for gender equality and environment protection in the south Croatian town. She says she hopes for votes equally from the young and old.

Sunjerga acted in porn films in the Netherlands in the 1990s before returning to her hometown Kastela.

This is the first time in Croatia that somebody from the porn industry has run for a political seat though across the world there are precedents.

Illona Staller, better known as Cicciolina, became a member of the Italian parliament some 20 years ago.

Milly D’Abbracio and the Czech Republic’s Dolly Buster tried to do the same but failed to pass the threshold.

oooh Politics, what a dirty depriving business. Indeed a tragic decline. Can't somebody bail out the Porn-industry so they dont have to fall that deep? Just think about their children. How would you feel, when kids on schoolyard pick on you, showing clips from talk-shows on mobile phones and insult you: Your mom is a politician, p-o-l-i-t-i-c-i-a-n, beh be beh, na na nah...

Good for her. I hope she wins. I'll bet she will do a better job than any stuffy man. All those countries there need a breath of fresh air.

Running for the public function as mayor is the democratic right of everybody. Former jobs are not relevant, however experience in similar functions should be a pro. An agenda however targeting for gender equality and environment protection is to small, even for a small town like Kastela. Labour, tourism and well organised public services, don't forget those dear candidate.
