While Indian politicians are busy snoring in the parliament, an Italian politician proposed to his girlfriend in the middle of a parliamentary session in Rome.
While the parliament was in session discussing the post-earthquake reconstruction, Flavio Di Muro a 33-year-old member of the League party popped a ring from beneath his seat and asked his partner Elisa De Leo to marry him.
The entire parliament broke into applause when Mr. Muro took the floor to address the Chamber of Deputies in Rome. He started his proposal by saying:
This is not a day like any other for me, it’s a different day, it’s a special day.
A few seconds after he popped the question, one of Mr. Muro’s colleague jumped at him to hug the blushing politician.
However, the speaker of the chamber Mr. Roberto Fico wasn’t very impressed by Mr. Muro’s grand gesture, he said
MP Di Muro, I understand you but it’s not appropriate to use an intervention for this purpose.
The couple who has been together for 6 years now, is all set to start a new life together. Politician Di Muro justified his action by saying:
She’s close to me personally, and politically, and she’s been with me throughout my political career.
Well, just when we thought big romantic gestures were dead, this Italian politician has swept the entire parliament with his surprise.
