Overview

• Gerardo Fernández Noroña convened an extraordinary session of the Comisión Permanente focused on the altercation, attended by Morena, PT, PV and PRI legislators, while PAN declined to participate.
• Security was tightened around the Senate with police cordons and metal barriers as Alejandro “Alito” Moreno and Noroña faced off again during the Friday session.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum backed Noroña, labeled the aggression “porril,” denounced what she called a bot‑driven media pile‑on, and referenced upcoming obligations for media under a new telecommunications and broadcasting law.
• Morena selected Laura Itzel Castillo by unanimous internal vote to preside over the Senate’s Mesa Directiva with an all‑women slate, with the full chamber’s vote expected later.
• Prosecutors took statements after the scuffle that injured a cameraman, while Noroña pressed for desafuero and Moreno filed complaints with the FGR; separately, Sheinbaum set her September 1 report for 11 a.m. at Palacio Nacional with Segob delivering it to Congress, before attending the swearing‑in of 881 judicial officers now being organized in the Senate.
