Buenos Aires: In an utterly embarrassing incident, an Argentinian politician was ‘caught’ kissing his girlfriend’s bare breasts during an online session of the country’s lower house of Congress.
The 47-year-old Juan Emilio Ameri was forced to resign following the incident, which was being streamed live on the Argentine government’s YouTube channel and also on a giant screen set up for virtual debates during the pandemic.
The lower house of Congress voted to accept the resignation of Ameri, a representative from the Salta province, according to a report published in The Guardian.
A debate on pension fund investments was in progress when Ameri pulled down the black top of her girlfriend, who seen sitting on his lap, and kissed her breasts. The politician later said that he thought he was offline.
“I have a terrible (internet) connection at home,” he said later, in a radio interview. When his girlfriend — who had recently undergone a breast augmentation surgery — entered the room, he thought that the camera of the laptop was off and the meeting had ended.
“Let’s see how the implants look, I told her. Look, this one’s down more, this one’s down less, let’s look at the scars, and she was beside me and I kissed her tits, and that was all,” explained Ameri, who belongs to Argentine President Alberto Fernández’s Peronist party.
Virtual meetings at the government level are being held in most countries during the coronavirus pandemic and politicians have slipped earlier also, with a European Union lawmaker from Ireland shown to be wearing shorts during a meeting with colleagues in the European Parliament.
But this one takes the cake.
