The official majority in Congress condemned this Friday “with absolute energy” the “cowardly and group aggression” occurred in the session last Wednesday, in which legislators of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) faced themselves in Tribune with members of National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
The pronouncement was approved by the official majority and their allied parties, and recounts that “six Federal PRI legislators organized, planned and implemented with alevosía and advantage (the aggression) against Senator President Gerardo Fernández Noroña, of Deputy Dolores Padierna and the worker Emiliano González”.
The document also asked the board of directors of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies to follow up on the criminal complaints presented to the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) and demanded that the PRI “stop their violent actions and conduct themselves with institutionality.”
During the debate, the PRI legislators rejected the accusations and denied what was said in the pronouncement, while shouting: ‘Lie!’
Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, senator and leader of the PRI, rejected that they exercise some kind of authoritarianism, since he argued that “authoritarianism can only be exercised from the State. It is never of the opposition. It is aberrant to accuse the opposition of authoritarianism.”
He added that Fernández Noroña “never understood that the investiture is not achieved by the imposition” from the federal government and pointed out that the presidency of a legislative body must hold it “a man who has all the mood and talent to fulfill that responsibility, not a mind, finding, unbalanced.”

In contrast, Fernández Noroña defended the conviction and accused the PRIs of acting in block against him.
“Six people against me and the coward is me. Never in the history of this country had six legislators with a single party to cowardly assault the president of the Legislative Power,” he accused.
Dolores Padierna, deputy of Morena and also pointed out as affected, said that “physical aggression within the congress is not freedom of expression, it is pure violence and violates democratic order and intends to intimidate our sovereignty.”
For her part, Deputy Lilia Aguilar, of the Labor Party (PT) described the episode as “an ambush, a treacherous attack” and agreed that “it is the first time that the holder of a power is hit.”
From the opposition, Manuel Añorve, of the PRI accused the president of the permanent of being “the sole responsible for what happened” and having “generated violence, confrontation and discredit” in the Senate enclosure.
