Topless Protester Welcomes Zeman to Polling Station with

Czech President Milos Zeman was confronted by a topless female protester with “Zeman, Putin’s Slut” scrawled across her chest as voting began on January 12 in the first round of the country’s presidential election.

The woman ran from a crowd of reporters at the Prague polling station and stood directly in front of Zeman, 73, who was preparing to present his identification to the election commission.

Femen, an international feminist group that originated in Ukraine, said on its website that the woman was Ukrainian citizen Angelina Diash.

Zeman was quickly escorted out and returned to cast his vote shortly afterwards.

Zeman has courted controversy by voicing antimigrant views, denigrating Muslims, and warming up to Russian President Vladimir Putin at a time when many in Europe fear that Moscow is meddling in Western elections and affairs.
