On August 27th, a brawl broke in the Mexican Senate, following a discussion on the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Mexico against drug cartels.
“A meeting of the Mexican Senate descended into violence Wednesday [August 27th], after one of its members apparently became enraged at not getting a chance to speak. The scuffle broke out between two high-ranking senators toward the end of a session that had included a heated debate on the possibility of US military intervention in the country,” CNN reports.
“As the national anthem was playing, the aggrieved senator, Alejandro Moreno – president of the opposition party PRI – stepped up to the podium and grabbed the arm of Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña, of the ruling Morena party, and a shoving match ensued. Others nearby then stepped in. A live broadcast of the exchange shows one man in a suit appearing to take a swing at Noroña, while Moreno pushes a different man in a green shirt to the ground.”
