Salta lawmaker Juan Emilio Ameri has been dramatically suspended from Congress after he was captured on video kissing his partner’s breast during a remote session with fellow legislators.
Congress sessions in Argentina have been held by Zoom videoconference software during the coronavirus pandemic and the controversial lawmaker from Salta sparked outrage on Thursday night as he delivered a scandalous show for his colleagues.
In scenes broadcast live on the giant video screen installed in the Chamber of Deputies, a woman was seen approaching the legislator for Salta Province and sat on his lap. Ameri, who said the woman was his partner, is then seen touching her body, before pulling down her top and kissing her breast.
