Senator Alejandro Moreno moved behind the Senate podium and shoved Senate president Gerardo Fernández Noroña multiple times, striking him in the neck. Norona pushed back while another individual tried to intervene and was tossed to the ground. The confrontation occurred during debate over U.S. military involvement to help address Mexican drug cartels, with Moreno demanding speaking time for his side. The Senate leader intends to call an emergency session to propose expelling Moreno and others involved in the incident. Moreno posted on X accusing Norona of initiating the attack and reposted a political ad containing footage of the altercation.
Mexico's political leaders ended up in a literal shoving match on the Mexican Senate floor as one demanded time to speak from the podium. Senator Alejandro Moreno , who leads the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), can be seen in a video posted to social media moving behind the Senate podium to confront Gerardo Fernandez Norona , the president of the Senate. In the video, Moreno pushes Norona multiple times and hits him in the neck. Norona responds by pushing back, as another individual tried to come in between the politicians, only for Moreno to toss him to the ground.
Moreno took to X and accused Norona of starting the fight. He was the one who started the attack; he did it because he couldn't silence us with arguments, Moreno wrote. The Senate leader also reposted a favorable political ad that included footage from the shoving match. Gracias a la gran familia cenecista por su respaldo! Con su fuerza y con su voz, el priismo seguira en pie de lucha. En cada calle, en cada municipio y en cada rincon de Mexico, vamos a enfrentar a esta narcodictadura que quiere someter al pueblo. Mexico merece libertad, pic.twitter.com/cdzKHpwzhl Alejandro Moreno (@alitomorenoc) August 28, 2025
Moreno claimed the Senate president made the first physical contact, and he did so out of cowardice. That cowardice provoked what came next. Let it be clear: the first physical aggression came from Norona. He threw the first shove, and he did it out of cowardice. Morena broke the Chamber's agreement, and Norona was exposed in his baseness, the lawmaker wrote.
