Lawmaker suspended for kissing woman’s chest during virtual session

A lawmaker, Juan Emilio Ameri, who represents the northern province of Salta in Argentina has been caught on camera sucking a woman’s breasts.

Ameri was caught sucking the woman’s breasts during a virtual congressional session with his fellow lawmakers on Thursday.

He was seen performing the act during a special meeting about the country’s budget via Zoom.

Ameri was suspended immediately for committing the act which was seen by his fellow MPs and the viewers at home.

Following his suspension, Mr. Ameri said the woman was his partner and that he thought at the time he was not connected to the meeting.

“I’m very ashamed, [I feel] very bad,” Mr Ameri said, according to the Buenos Aires Times. “Here, throughout the interior of the country, the [internet] connection is very bad.”

Mr. Ameri also explained that he gave his partner “a kiss” because 10 days ago she underwent breast implant surgery.
