A heated exchange on the floor of Argentina's parliament took a nasty turn when an opposition lawmaker slapped the face of another deputy to the astonishment of television viewers. "I've had enough. I'm fed up after all these years with his recriminations and his personal attacks," said Graciela Camano, head of a constitutional affairs committee on Wednesday after delivering a blow to her opposition colleague Carlos Kunkel during a heated altercation about the economy.
The opposition lawmaker explained after the squabble that she had "taken enough" verbal abuse from Kunkel, a member of President Cristina Kirchner's coalition government, and had decided not to put up with it any longer. The exchange inspired a new video game on Thursday that allows players to throw their own punches at Kunkel in a boxing ring.
