Overview
- Mexico’s Ministerio Público took statements at the former Senate building from Gerardo Fernández Noroña and his collaborator Emiliano González after a filmed confrontation with PRI leader Alejandro “Alito” Moreno.
- Fernández Noroña said he will file criminal complaints for injuries and property damage and will seek the desafuero of Moreno and PRI deputies allegedly involved in the aggression.
- Video and multiple reports show González being knocked down and kicked during the fracas, which followed a polarized debate tied to an interview by PAN senator Lilly Téllez and accusations of “traitor to the homeland.”
- An extraordinary session of the Comisión Permanente was announced for Friday to review responsibilities and potential actions stemming from the incident.
- In Argentina, President Javier Milei denied the clandestine Andis audio allegations and promised legal action as his Lomas de Zamora caravan was attacked with stones without reported injuries, while a SocialTIC survey found 36% retiree approval and 31% intent to vote for the government.
