The video shows how PRI leader, Senator Alejandro Moreno, and Senate President Gerardo Fernandez Noronha from Morena party start fighting. An upset Moreno approached the podium, demanding to speak about drug trafficking.

In the heat of the anthem, Moreno urged Noronha to give him the floor, but he refused, stating:

“Don’t touch me.”

Moreno was dissatisfied and later stated that Noronha threatened him:

“I’m going to beat you, I will kill you.”

After that, a real altercation began, which resulted in a fight involving other deputies as well. id='6376374256112' data-video-id='6376374256112' data-account='5067014667001' data-player='default' data-usage='cms:WordPress:6.5.6:2.8.6:javascript' data-embed='default' class='video-js' data-application-id='' controls style='width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;'>

Moreno assured in his tweet:

“Let it be clear: the first physical aggression came from Noronha.”

He also noted that this incident was not an accident, but part of the Morena party's strategy to control and suppress opponents. X / @catchupbites X / @catchupbites AFP

Senator Noronha announced his intention to call for an emergency session to discuss the possible expulsion of Moreno and three other deputies from the PRI party.

This incident occurred during a fairly tense period for Mexican politics, confirming claims of deep divisions between opposition and ruling parties. The situation surrounding the fight against drug cartels remains a focal point, and the conflict in the Senate only highlights this important issue.
