Madrid has given permission for public swimming pools to hold a 'no swimsuit day' after a campaign by nudist groups. 

 

在一些裸体主义团体展开宣传活动后，马德里市允许公共游泳池设立“裸泳日”。

 

The mayor Manuela Carmena has written to all boroughs¹ in the Spanish capital to say they are allowed to host clothes free days if they think it is appropriate. 

 

The move, which has outraged² right-wing politicians, came after a petition by the Association for the Development of Nudism calling for people's right to practice nudism in public places.

 

Nudist president Ismael Rodrigo said: 'What we want to do with this day is to educate and transmit our values, which are Western values. 

 

'There is nothing criminal about the body and the best way we can show that is to try not to wear clothes when it's not necessary, and in the pool, it isn't.' 

 

The mayor has insisted that signs must be erected³ at the entrances to swimming pools informing people that it was no swimsuit day in case parents preferred not to take their children. 

 

Children would be allowed, but only if accompanied by an adult, the mayor said.
