Scandal in the Congress of Argentina 0:52
(CNN Spanish) -
This Thursday it was seen how a deputy was the protagonist of an embarrassing event in the middle of the plenary session of the chamber.
In a virtual session on Zoom and with multiple deputies sharing the screen, the broadcast captured the moment in which Juan Emilio Ameri is observed in an intimate situation with a woman who CNN is still trying to find out who she is.
At one point a woman sits on him, then Ameri takes her breast out of his clothes and kisses him, there the official transmission stopped showing the scene.
CNN contacted the deputy, who said he does not want to speak because he is trying to resolve his situation because of what happened in congress.
Ameri is a deputy for the province of Salta, in northern Argentina and is part of the ruling party in front of everyone.
An hour after this event, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa, from the same party as Ameri, interrupted the session and announced its suspension.
In addition, he asked that a panel be formed to determine what the sanction is and if he is expelled from the chamber.
