Argentine legislator suspended after kissing his partner’s breasts during videoconference

AN ARGENTINE LAWYER was suspended yesterday after kissing his partner’s breasts during a parliamentary session that is carried out by videoconference, a scene that quickly went viral on social networks.

While another deputy delivered his speech on a giant video screen installed in parliament, which also showed other participants in their homes, Juan Emilio Ameri could be seen caressing and kissing the breasts of a woman sitting next to him.

The legislator from the northeastern province of Salta then pulled one of the woman’s breasts out of her shirt and began to kiss it.

The parliamentary session was initially interrupted and later suspended by President Sergio Massa.

“All the time that we have been teleworking these last months we have had several incidents where the deputies fell asleep or another hid, but today we had a situation that really exceeded the limits of this house,” Massa said.

Ameri, 47, tried to apologize and said she didn’t think she was connected to the internet at that particular time.

“Here in the center of the country the connection is very poor. My partner came out of the bathroom, I asked him how his implants were and I kissed them, because ten days ago he underwent an operation to get them inserted ”.

He was suspended from parliament for five days.
