Overview

• Video from the Senate feed shows PRI leader Alejandro ‘Alito’ Moreno grabbing and pushing Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña, slapping his neck, and knocking a staffer to the floor who later appeared in a neck brace.
• Fernández Noroña said he would file a criminal complaint against Moreno and seek to have his legislative immunity revoked.
• He scheduled an emergency session for Friday to propose expelling Moreno and three other PRI senators involved in the confrontation.
• Moreno denies starting the fight, claiming on X that Fernández Noroña shoved him first and that the ruling party changed the agenda to silence the opposition.
• The clash followed a bitter debate over alleged opposition support for U.S. military action against cartels, a stance the opposition rejects and which Mexico’s government says violates national sovereignty.
