Overview

• President Claudia Sheinbaum defended Gerardo Fernández Noroña, called the videos of the confrontation clear, and decried what she termed a bot‑driven media lynching of the Senate leader.
• Alejandro “Alito” Moreno rejected Sheinbaum’s remarks, blamed Noroña for provocations, and said the PRI will defend its stance, as both politicians pursued criminal complaints following the altercation that injured a cameraman.
• Segob will conduct a formal risk analysis after Moreno asked to enter a protection mechanism, a process the presidency said involves the security cabinet to determine if safeguards are warranted.
• Under tightened security with streets barricaded, Noroña and Moreno faced off again at an extraordinary session focused on the incident; PAN and MC lawmakers did not attend, and Noroña urged both chambers to follow through on the complaints.
• The Senate is pressing ahead with logistics for the Sept. 1 oath of 881 elected judges, and Morena unanimously put forward Laura Itzel Castillo to preside an all‑women Mesa Directiva pending a floor vote.
