Overview

• Livestream footage captured Moreno grabbing and pushing Fernández Noroña during the national anthem, slapping his neck and knocking cameraman Emiliano González González to the floor, who later wore a neck brace.
• Fernández Noroña said he will file criminal complaints, seek to lift Moreno’s legislative immunity, and convened a Friday emergency session to propose expelling Moreno and three other PRI senators.
• Moreno denied starting the violence, posted his account on X accusing the Senate leader of the first shove and of silencing the opposition, and shared footage in political messaging.
• The confrontation followed a rancorous debate over alleged opposition support for U.S. military action against drug cartels, a claim PRI and PAN reject.
• Disciplinary and legal steps are pending as parties trade blame over the scuffle and the broader sovereignty fight over foreign forces in Mexico.
