Uruguay minister posts picture of herself in the shower on Facebook

A Facebook photo showing Uruguay's interior minister in the shower has scandalised opposition leaders, who reacted by branding her an "exhibitionist".

Daisy Tourne posted the snapshot on her Facebook profile page above the caption, "there's nothing more natural than a woman in the shower," according to Montevideo newspaper El Pais.

The photo, reproduced on El Pais' website, shows only Tourne's hands and laughing face beneath running water.

But ather than posting critical messages on her Facebook "wall", opposition leaders went the newspaper with their criticism.

"I think it's in very bad taste that the minister exposes herself so intimately," former Vice President Luis Hierro Lopez told El Pais. "Ministers have to be more austere, modest — above all the Minister of the Interior," who commands the police force.

Politician Jose Amorin called the photo "frivolous."

Ms Tourne, 57, responded on her page on the popular social networking site, saying the photo was not made available publicly or intended to be erotic. She said it was taken in a shower used to rinse off sand after a visit to the beach, El Pais said.

The newspaper reported that ruling party lawmaker Victor Semproni backed Ms Tourne, commenting below the picture: "I'm thinking about taking a photo of myself in the shower, but a full body shot."

Facebook has attracted more than 140 million users worldwide since it began in 2004.
