Things got heated during the Mexican Senate’s recent public session.
A recent video that has gone viral on X shows two Mexican Senate leaders pushing each other, eventually leading to punches being thrown.
Watch the throwdown here:

BNO provided background details of the fight:
A brawl erupted in Mexico’s Senate when the chamber’s president and the leader of the opposition exchanged shoves and a punch during a public session.
The fight broke out Wednesday between Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña of the ruling Morena party and Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
Video of the incident shows senators singing Mexico’s national anthem at the presiding area. As the anthem ended, Moreno, widely known as “Alito,” tried to get Noroña’s attention. When a woman attempted to lead Noroña away, Moreno grabbed his arm, leading Noroña to push back. Moreno then shoved him several times and threw a punch.
A staffer who tried to intervene was pushed by Moreno and fell to the ground, and as Noroña moved to leave the chamber, another legislator grabbed him by the collar and attempted to hit him. The confrontation ended with Noroña walking out after more shoving and heated words.
According to Milenio, the clash began after PRI members repeatedly requested the floor during the session but were denied by Noroña in his role as presiding officer. As the anthem concluded, Moreno approached the podium and began arguing with him, leading to the physical altercation.
Moreno, 50, has led the PRI since 2019. The PRI dominated Mexican politics for most of the 20th century but has been reduced to a weakened opposition in recent years. Under Moreno’s leadership, the party has continued to lose influence and now holds only a small share of seats in Congress.
Noroña, 65, is a leftist politician and member of Morena, the populist movement founded by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He became Senate president earlier this year after Morena and its allies expanded their congressional majority in the 2024 elections and Claudia Sheinbaum won the presidency.
Another angle of the fight:
Things get heated at the U.S. Capitol, but not this heated!
This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.
Hot latin blood is not a myth.
Bump for reference.
They need to settle things the proper and traditional way, like Hamilton vs Burr gun duel. Amateurs!
I would like to see a more active component to congress such as this, or maybe even the larger-scale brawling the Taiwan Diet. This would effectively exclude the significant geriatric population of Congress which would be a positive development.
Let’s replace the dais in the House and Senate with a chain-link octagon for maximum entertainment. It’s not like they are doing anything other than day-trading their portfolios with insider information anyway.
I went to a fight once and a hockey game broke out! ;)
These guys are amateurs.
Taiwan Legislature has the best brawls!...............
I was going to say, Taiwan can teach them how to step up their game.
Watch the video. As usual, the reporter missed the news.
They’re all commies.
“In this corner 150lns soaking wet, with added weight of hair weaves, false eyelashes and synthetic leatherized platform hip boots, is Snazzy-Jazzy le Crockett, banned from every Waffle House in the great state of Texas... Let’s have a vigorous round of BOOs for Snazzy Jazzy!!!”
LOL. It is usually the South Korean assembly doing this.
That will teach their Senate to meet at a Waffle House
An American tradition.
We need to bring it back. Today DC is too much of a country club, where everybody gets along, behind closed doors.
I’ve long hoped for an all out brawl between congresscritters. Maybe get some kicked out. A cat fight would be best.
