BUDAPEST, Hungary (Reuters) -- A Hungarian TV hostess sat naked Wednesday to announced she is running for a seat in the European Parliament as candidate of the upstart Union Party.

Anettka Feher, about 30, with close-cropped black hair, sat atop a table, legs crossed, displaying her petite and muscular body wearing nothing but a shy smile and some jewelry.

Besides her visible assets, she believes disappointment with the political establishment will give her enough votes to secure a Brussels seat in the June elections.

Hungary joins the EU on May 1 and has been allotted 24 seats in the European Parliament.

Anettka rejects comparisons with Ilona Staller, a former Italian porn star of Hungarian extraction, better known as Cicciolina.
