Overview

• In an extraordinary session on Aug. 30, the Permanent Commission approved the censure with votes from Morena, PT and PVEM, drawing protests from PRI legislators.
• Senate president Gerardo Fernández Noroña said Morena will seek to remove Alejandro ‘Alito’ Moreno’s immunity, though Morena’s national leadership later argued a desafuero is unnecessary and senior senators urged waiting for prosecutors’ findings.
• Criminal complaints stemming from the Aug. 27 altercation cite injuries, threats and property damage, and Senate cameraman Emiliano González is among those reporting being struck.
• No formal desafuero proceeding has begun, as any removal of immunity would first require an FGR request, review by the Sección Instructora and a subsequent vote in the Chamber of Deputies.
• The confrontation unfolds against prior efforts by Campeche prosecutors to strip Moreno’s immunity over alleged corruption, including a 2025 request the Sección Instructora rejected on Aug. 1 while other case files remain under review.
