MP suspended for bringing dildo to parliament
MP suspended for bringing out dildo in parliament
A Colombian MP has been suspended for bringing out a rubber dildo during a parliamentary debate.
Luis Eduardo Diaz used the dildo to illustrate his demand for poor people to be sterilised in Bogota to control birth rates.
After realising that he had offended other MPs, Diaz lost his temper and left the dildo on the desk of the Health Ministry.
MP Fernando Lopez Gutierrez told Terra Noticias Populares: "Mr Diaz was suspended for five sessions.
"His behaviour was disrespectful to the whole town. A rubber penis is not something that should be brought to parliament."
There were no complaints about the human rights implications of Mr Diaz's proposals.
A parliamentary spokesperson later said: "I guess we got so focused on the rubber penis we didn't even pay attention to what he was saying. But of course his proposal would never be accepted."
