Spanish Parliament Member Performs Striptease To Prove Point

You settle down to watch Prime Minister’s Questions and David Cameron casually begins whipping off his clothes. While thankfully for us this is just a sick nightmare, it was somewhat of a reality on Wednesday for Spain.

Joan Baldoví, a left wing politician for Catalan Compromís-Equo has bewildered the country by performing a spontaneous striptease whilst speaking in Spanish parliament.

The mock performance wasn’t just for laughs though; the 54-year-old has an ulterior motive. The move was a protest against Spain’s regime of forced home evictions.

Proving men really can multitask, Baldoví first removed his jacket whilst talking in favour of Spain’s anti-eviction protestors, before pulling off his tie to laughter and jeers from his audience.

Jesús Posada, the speaker of Spain’s parliament was not best pleased and forewarned the MP as he unbuttoned his shirt: “Mr Baldoví, if you continue to behave like this, I’m going to have disallow you from speaking.”
