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.
