MEXICO CITY (AP) -

Social networking sites are buzzing with debate over a Mexican congressional candidate who released a campaign poster showing herself topless.

Candidate Natalia Juarez says the poster is intended to fight prejudices.

Twitter user Camila Deborarte tweeted "I'd vote for her." But Itzel Garcia responded, "What a shame! Even this way, she has to call attention to herself."

Juarez is running on the ticket of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party. She is shown on the poster along with six other women, all of whom are seen covering their breasts with their left hands. Some are raising their right fists.

Juarez is a 34-year-old philosophy instructor at a local university

The banner was hung earlier this week on the streets of the western city of Guadalajara.
