Overview

• Video from the Comisión Permanente shows a confrontation between PRI leader Alejandro “Alito” Moreno and Senate president Gerardo Fernández Noroña escalating into shoves and blows at the session’s close.
• A Senate collaborator identified as Emiliano González González was knocked to the floor during the melee and his recording equipment was damaged, with injuries reported by Noroña’s team.
• The federal Ministerio Público took complaints from Noroña and his collaborator for alleged injuries and property damage, and Noroña said he will ask Congress to pursue Moreno’s desafuero.
• Moreno and Noroña issued conflicting accounts of who initiated the aggression, while footage circulating on social media forms the core of the evidence now cited by both sides.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum urged a cooling of tensions as Morena called a special Permanent Commission session to address the case and PRI figures threatened public mobilization.
