Mexico's Senate turned violent on 27 Aug 2025 after a heated debate about US military intervention against drug cartels. Alejandro Moreno, leader of the opposition PRI party, pushed and slapped Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña of the ruling Morena party. The fight started after Moreno was denied a chance to speak. Moreno also pushed a cameraman and was joined by another PRI member in the scuffle. Both sides accused each other of starting the attack. The debate was about accusations that opposition parties wanted US military help against drug cartels, which they denied. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected any US military presence in the country. The incident showed deep political tensions in Mexico over this sensitive issue.
