A Corona video link in parliament produced a scandal in Argentina.
The unlucky fellow delivered two excuses - they couldn't do better.
A serious misstep during a corona-related unorthodox parliamentary session in Argentina is cheering the world.
A MP inadvertently streamed a very private scene onto the house's big screen.
His reasons put the crown on the faux pas - for the chairman of the parliament, the incident was far worse than the usual mishaps such as naps in front of the camera.
Buenos Aires / Salta
-
Corona
poses major challenges for politicians - not only in decisions about infection protection and the economic crisis.
But also in democratic practice.
In Germany it is important to manage digital party conferences.
In
Argentina
,
parliament
even meets
virtually
.
This is exactly what has now
become
a
member of parliament
's undoing in
an extremely piquant way
:
Argentina: Scandal in parliament - MPs and women stream themselves into parliament in a clear pose
An extremely intimate scene of a politician was shown live on a large screen in the
Argentine parliament
.
The MP
Juan Emilio Ameri
could be seen kissing a woman's breasts in the meeting held by video switch because of the corona pandemic.
He was then excluded from further meetings on Thursday for at least five days.
In his apology, Ameri said he did
not know he was online
.
Corona bizarre in Argentina: Head of Parliament outraged - "Although MPs have already fallen asleep ..."
The session
had been canceled
by the Chairman of the House of Representatives,
Sergio Massa
, because of the incident.
During the
video switching in the Corona crisis
, scenes could already be seen in which
MPs fell asleep
or shielded themselves from the eyes of their colleagues, said Massa.
But the current incident “really exceeded the limits of this house”.

Ameri could be seen
stroking and kissing
the breast of a
woman sitting next to him
.
One of the breasts was temporarily bare.
The images quickly spread over the online networks.
Parliamentary faux pas in Argentina: culprit points to his wife's new implants
The 47-year-old parliamentarian from the northwestern
province of Salta
reacted contrite.
He regretted the incident and was "very ashamed", he said.
He believed there had been one of the most
common internet outages
in his region
.
Ameri also reported that his partner only had breast implants placed ten days ago.
It should not stop
with the
five-day suspension of the parliamentarian
.
The House of Representatives wants to decide within this period what further punishment will be imposed on him.
Another incident from the South American country in connection with the Corona crisis is less amusing: A lecturer died there during a live stream in front of her students.
