As the pandemic continues to surge worldwide, the Italian senate has taken to conducting Zoom meetings. The latest parliamentary session made headlines after an explicit video of Final Fantasy VII’s Tifa Lockart began playing in the middle of proceedings. The content went live as Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi was about to speak during the session.
ANSA reported that the Italian senate had an undisturbed meeting for the first-half hour. However, when it was Parisi’s chance to speak during the meeting, chaos ensued.
The meeting was hosted by Maria Laura Mantovani, a Five Star Movement Senator, in hopes of discussing matters related to data transparency in politics.
