A brawl broke out on the floor of Mexico’s Congress of the Union on Thursday as senators physically sparred over the possibility of U.S. military involvement in combating drug cartels.
The dispute began when Alejandro “Alito” Moreno, head of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), grabbed the jacket of Gerardo Fernández Noroña, the Senate president from the ruling Morena party, after lawmakers concluded their proceedings for the day by singing the national anthem.
“I’m asking you to let me speak,” Moreno says repeatedly in a viral video making the rounds online.
“Don’t touch me,” Fernández Noroña responds.
Noroña attempted to remove himself from the spat but was grabbed by Moreno, who yelled obscenities as the two men began shoving one another. An aide to Noroña attempted to intervene between the two men but was pushed to the floor by Moreno.
But before Noroña could get away, another senator from the opposition party took a swing at him.
“[Moreno] started to provoke me, to touch me, to pull at me,” Fernández Noroña told reporters after the incident. “He hit me on the arms and said: ‘I’m going to beat the s**t out of you, I’m going to kill you.’”
