Overview

• Footage from the Canal del Congreso shows Alejandro “Alito” Moreno confronting Senate president Gerardo Fernández Noroña at the tribune as the National Anthem ended, followed by pushes and blows that sent a staffer, Emiliano González, to the floor with damaged equipment.
• Fernández Noroña announced criminal complaints for injuries and property damage and said he will request the desafuero of legislators he accuses of participating in the attack.
• The Senate’s official X account stated Moreno “went after” Fernández Noroña, countering Moreno’s claim that Noroña pushed first and that Morena manipulated the agenda to silence the opposition.
• PRI leader Moreno defended his actions, threatened political mobilization, and used heated language in media appearances, while lawmakers such as Andrea Chávez called for his expulsion and outlets flagged possible ethics or party disciplinary reviews.
• No arrests or disciplinary rulings have been reported, and any Fiscalía inquiry and congressional desafuero steps would follow the formal filing of complaints.
