During a special meeting of the country's deputies, with a few lawmakers in physical attendance but most others appearing via large screens in the chamber, politician Ameri appeared on a screen sitting with his wife, before performing the lewd act. Shortly after the incident, which went viral and sparked outrage in Argentina, lawmakers voted to suspend Ameri while a panel was convened to decide his final sanction. Virtual meetings amid the coronavirus pandemic have tripped up lawmakers before. In June, Ireland's Luke Ming Flanagan appeared to be wearing no trousers as he discussed policy matters with his European Parliament peers. "As representatives of the people we cannot allow irresponsibility of this magnitude," the party said before Ameri's resignation was confirmed.
