A Mexican Senate session descended into chaos on Wednesday when two senior politicians traded blows following a heated debate over the U.S.’ involvement in the fight against drug cartels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Video captured the explosive moment\u00a0when Alejandro “Alito” Moreno, head of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and\u00a0Gerardo Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a, the Senate president of the ruling Morena Party, violently shoved one another after lawmakers finished singing the national anthem to close the day\u2019s session.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clash erupted after a tense debate, during which the Morena Party and its allies reportedly accused PRI and the conservative National Action Party lawmakers of calling for U.S. military intervention in Mexico, a claim the opposing parties denied, according to the New York Post<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The issue has grown especially contentious following reports that President Donald Trump<\/a> authorized U.S. military force against Latin American drug cartels designated as terrorist groups.<\/p>\n

Chaos erupts as Mexican politicians Alejandro “Alito” Moreno and Gerardo Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a exchanged blows in a heated Senate session Wednesday.<\/span> (Senado de la Republica)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Moreno, who claimed his party was denied the floor, was seen approaching Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a, reportedly saying<\/a>, “I\u2019m asking you to let me speak,” while clutching the Senate president by the arm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t touch me!” Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a reportedly yelled back, as the two politicians<\/a> violently shoved each other as colleagues scrambled to intervene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the scuffle, Moreno also clashed with one of Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a\u2019s collaborators, cameraman Emiliano Gonz\u00e1lez Gonz\u00e1lez, who was knocked to the floor. Another lawmaker was seen yanking the Senate president\u2019s suit jacket and taking a swing at him as he tried to escape the mayhem.<\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a accused Moreno of threatening to kill him, according to local reports.<\/p>\n

“He hit me and told me \u2018I’m going to break your mother, I’m going to kill you,'” Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a said in a press conference, according to El Pais<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreno countered that the ruling party was silencing opposition voices and insisted Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a had instigated the fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Let it be clear: the first physical aggression came from Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a,” Moreno\u00a0said in a post on X Wednesday. “There was an approved agenda. Minutes before reaching the corresponding point, Morena changed it to their convenience to silence us and prevent the opposition from speaking out. Their obligation was to give me the floor, and they didn’t do it.”<\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a is also calling an emergency session Friday to propose expelling Moreno and the three other PRI lawmakers<\/a> as a result of the scuffle, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez Noro\u00f1a and Alejandro Moreno did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
