Council meetings in Reuscould take a turn for the bizarre after the northern Spanish town votedin a councillor who promised to turn up dressed as Elvis Presley andwants to turn the square into a nudist pool.
Ariel Santamaria, aformer postman, stood for a small independent party dressed in fullElvis regalia complete with sideburns and won enough votes last weekendto take a council seat.
It remains to be seen how other parties will take his proposals for Reus, a town of 100,000 people near Barcelona.
Hisplatform included plans to paint the town hall pink, plant marijuana in the parks and give the town police global positioning systems to findpeople who might need a light while rollinga joint.
