(STOCKHOLM, Sweden)– A leftist politician may face expulsion from his party because of his side career acting in pornographic movies, a party spokesman said Tuesday.
The local branch of the Leftist party, which has supports feminist and anti-pornography views, was reacting to a report in the daily newspaper Goteborg-Posten that councilor Goeran Eurenius, 47, had acted in 14 pornographic movies.
The 47-year-old actor/politician said his leftist political beliefs were intact and he had done nothing wrong.
“I want to work both with politics and pornography,” Eurenius said in a telephone interview.
The party plans to discuss the future of Eurenius, who could be expelled, party secretary Lars Ohly said Tuesday.
“If the local branch decides to expel him, he can appeal to the national party, which then has a final say,” Ohly said.
Eurenius, who was elected in 1998 for a four-year term, said the party has known about his acting career for at least a year and he has no plans to resign.
“No I am not planning to resign. If they expel me, I will remain as an independent throughout the term,” he said. “I am elected by the people. My leftist views are no different because of this.”
Eurenius is a local councilor in Haerryda, 310 miles southwest of the capital, Stockholm.
