Transsexual artist Carmen de Mairena is moving into politics and will be number two in the candidate list in Barcelona for the Coordinadora Reusenca Independent, CORI, at the regional elections on November 28.
She said that she was delighted to be trying her hand at politics and hoped to be Mayoress of Barcelona one day.
A statement said nobody else knows the Chinese district of Barcelona as Carmen does, and that her transsexual condition will bring a new style to the regional parliament.
