PRI’s Alejandro ‘Alito’ Moreno Calls Morena a ‘Narcodictadura’ in Rowdy Congress Opening

Proceso reports he is casting himself as a persecuted figure to support a possible asylum bid in the United States.

Overview

  • During the Congress General opening session, Moreno accused Morena of enabling drug trafficking and was interrupted repeatedly as some lawmakers demanded his desafuero.
  • After his speech, PRI legislators staged a 14‑minute disruption with banners, megaphones and sirens until floor leaders brokered a civility agreement to resume proceedings.
  • Moreno escalated tensions by labeling Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña “cynical and corrupt,” drawing rebukes from Morena and the PT on the floor.
  • Proceso reports he has met with the U.S. ambassador, traveled to the United States to lodge persecution claims, and used his COPPPAL role to denounce alleged political vengeance.
  • Proceso also reports the Presidency has instructed officials to cool tempers and slow any juicio político against Moreno to avoid fueling a victim narrative.
