Alito Defends Senate Assault as Sheinbaum Condemns 'Authoritarian' Conduct

Sheinbaum condemned the aggression, declining to enter the desafuero debate.

Overview

  • PRI leader Alejandro “Alito” Moreno justified shoving Gerardo Fernández Noroña during the Commission Permanente session, saying the senator had long insulted opponents and that this time he “hit a wall.”
  • Videos from the floor show Moreno pushing Fernández Noroña and striking a collaborator who fell, and reporting indicates PRI legislators stormed the tribune and a Senate worker was injured.
  • In public remarks, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Moreno initiated the aggression, likened his behavior to that of a porro, and described the episode as evidence of opposition authoritarianism.
  • Moreno escalated rhetoric against the ruling coalition by labeling the 4T a “terrorist state,” alleging ties with organized crime, warning about a Venezuela-style regime, and announcing social mobilizations.
  • PRI figures boosted hashtags such as #AlitoMeRepresenta and #TeamAlito to praise his actions, while Moreno told Sheinbaum to focus on governing rather than engaging in partisan disputes.
