Overview

• The Interior Ministry is conducting a risk assessment after Alejandro Moreno requested entry into the federal protection mechanism following his clash with Gerardo Fernández Noroña.
• At a Comisión Permanente session called by Noroña, legislators from Morena, PT, PVEM and the PRI attended while the PAN stayed away, and PRI members played videos of Noroña’s past confrontations.
• Both politicians filed criminal complaints, with Noroña alleging injuries, death threats, attempted robbery and property damage, and Moreno also naming a Senate staffer and seeking preventive protection for PRI colleagues.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum defended Noroña, said the videos show aggression by PRI legislators and decried a bot-driven “linchamiento mediático,” while Moreno urged her to focus on governing.
• Responsibility for the first physical aggression remains disputed, and opposition figures such as Jesús Zambrano argue the confrontation stemmed from Noroña denying the floor and closing the session unilaterally.
