Overview

• In an extraordinary session, the Comisión Permanente approved a condemnation of a “cobarde y grupal agresión” and urged both chambers’ mesas directivas to follow up on the penal complaints, with PAN and MC absent and PRI leader Alejandro Moreno speaking from the floor.
• Gerardo Fernández Noroña and Alejandro “Alito” Moreno filed cross-complaints over the August 27 clash that injured Senate cameraman Emiliano González, and the Ministerio Público has already taken Noroña’s statement at the old Xicoténcatl headquarters.
• Paths toward desafuero remain uncertain as Morena’s Ignacio Mier called it unviable for this incident, while Presidency legal counsel Ernestina Godoy said the procedure exists under Article 111 if crimes are configured.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the aggression, voiced solidarity with Noroña, and said Segob will run a risk analysis on Moreno’s request for federal protection, while alleging coordinated bot campaigns targeting Noroña on social media.
• Police cordons ringed the Senate during preparations for the swearing-in of 881 judges and as Morena named Laura Itzel Castillo as its proposal to preside over the Mesa Directiva with an all-women leadership slate.
