“Let it be clear: the first physical aggression came from Noroña. He threw it for the first time, and he did that from a cowardice,” he wrote.

Fernandez Noroña said he would invite an emergency session on Friday and that he would suggest the expulsion of Moreno and three other incidents for the incident. He also said he was planning to appeal against Moreno for bodily injuries.

“The debate could be very sharp, very outraged, very strong … Today when (opposition legislators) they were exposed to their betrayal, they lost their mind because they were exposed,” he added.

Moreno used shots on Thursday as part of a video video on X.

“Thanks to the great Cen family on support! With power and their voice, the adhesion will continue to stand in the fight. In every street, in every municipality, and in every corner of Mexico, we will face this narcotics that wants to conquer people,” he wrote.

“Mexico deserves freedom, justice and a government that serves, not the one that destroys. And there is no doubt: we will achieve it,” Moreno added.

In February, Sheinbaum said that Mexico will not tolerate “invasion” its national sovereignty after Trump’s administration has switched to formally Determine eight Latin American criminal organizations as “foreign terrorist organizations.”

“This cannot be an opportunity for now to attack our sovereignty,” Sheinbaum said during daily printing briefing. “With Mexico, this is a collaboration and coordination, never subordinate or interventionism, even less invasions.”

“We want to be clear, given this mark that we do not negotiate our sovereignty,” sheinbaum added. “There can be no disorder or subordination. Both countries want to reduce drug consumption and trade in illegal drugs.”

Sheinbaum said her United States Government did not advise her in their decision include Mexican cartels on the list of global terrorist organizations including Cartel SinaloUnited Cartel, Michoacana family and Jalisco a new generation cartel.

Canada also cited seven transnational criminal organizations – including multiple drug cartels – as terrorist entities under criminal law.
