Mexico Senate Brawl Fuels Legal Fight as Extraordinary Session Proceeds Without PAN

Complaints reached federal prosecutors, with Moreno seeking security ahead of the session.

Overview

  • PRI senators say they will attend today’s extraordinary meeting of the Comisión Permanente, while PAN announced a boycott alleging the convocation is irregular.
  • Alejandro Moreno filed a complaint with the FGR accusing Gerardo Fernández Noroña of threats and requested inclusion in Segob’s protection mechanism for himself and PRI colleagues.
  • Fernández Noroña and his collaborator Emiliano González said they filed or will file complaints for injuries and property damage and signaled they will pursue a desafuero against Moreno, which would require an FGR request.
  • Executive and ruling‑party figures split on next steps: presidential legal adviser Ernestina Godoy said desafuero can be sought for any crime, but Morena senator Ignacio Mier argued the reported injuries do not justify it, and Rosa Icela Rodríguez urged calm.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the aggression and criticized PRI conduct, while the clash spurred online recriminations, partisan mobilizations, and renewed scrutiny of past controversies involving Fernández Noroña.
