Overview
- Video from the official feed and social media shows legislators trading punches and hair-pulling during the last ordinary session of the legislature.
- Named in the scuffle were PAN’s Daniela Álvarez and Morena’s Yuriri Ayala and Claudia Pérez, with the clash unfolding around the presiding desk.
- Presiding officer Jesús Sesma called a recess and the main-chamber session was suspended before the majority shifted proceedings to an alternate venue near the Zócalo.
- The approved constitutional reform extinguishes the autonomous InfoCDMX and creates a new transparency body dependent on the city’s Contraloría Jurídica, a point of dispute over whether it should be collegial or led by one person.
- Opposition PAN, PRI and Movimiento Ciudadano walked out over what they called a rollback of transparency, while Morena condemned what it described as a violent takeover of the rostrum and alleged damage to the Congress flag.
