Drama As French Female Presidential Candidate Strips Off To Campaign In Public (Photos)

A female presidential candidate has left many people in serious shock after stripping in public to campaign.

A former stripper who wants to run for the French presidential election was arrested for parading topless in the street to promote transparency, Dailymail reports.

The woman identified as Cindy Lee, 52, who is the candidate for the Pleasure Party in France, was handing out pamphlets and talking to voters while wearing just a pair of hotpants and tassels covering each n*pple.

She was arrested by 30 riot police officers who had mistaken her for a radical feminist activist. The potential presidential candidate stripped down and talked to LCI surrounded by her supporters.

She said: ‘We are here to demand transparency when it comes to corruption, and this outfit justifies transparency

‘I advocate the well-being of the individual in society, putting people at the centre of politics.’

As well as talking to the local press, she stopped motorists to hand out her manifesto, which includes pumping money into projects to help residents enjoy a more fulfilled s*x life.

Her effort to gain support was cut short just as she was getting into the groove of her campaigning when 30 riot police officers led her away.

They wrongly thought she was associated to the Femen movement, which regularly holds topless protest against the exploitation of women that invariably result in those taking part being detained.

Although Lee is an official candidate of her party, it seems unlikely she will challenge Marine Le Pen, Emmanuel Macron or Francois Fillon for the leadership.
