Dominatrix stands for councillor in Como

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 9 - A dominatrix and performer with the professional name Lady Demonique is standing as town councillor in upcoming elections in Como.
    The 31-year-old woman, whose real name is Doha Zaghi and who has appeared in steamy online videos, is running for former industry minister Carlo Calenda's centrist Azione (Action) party.
    "My candidacy is a signal to really understand if we have the balls to live without prejudice and sexism and get closer to that Europe and that America which we so much admire," she said.
    "If the opposite is true Italy will only be a province of Saudi Arabia".
    Calenda, however, has said he may pull her bid to get onto the city council in the northern lakeside city.
    "If it was just private affairs, no problem, but this is politics," he said. (ANSA).
