Look at the Mexican Senate debate ends with the fight

A tense debate in the Mexican Senate went down on Wednesday between two of the most senior politicians in the room.

Senator Alejandro Moreno, of the Institutional Revolutionary Party of the Opposition (PRI), caught the president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, demanding to be authorized to speak.

After a few thrusts, Moreno launched punches and a photographer who intervened was injured.

Tempers had already been raised throughout the debate on the presence of armed forces in other countries on Mexican soil.

But it was only after the national anthem was sung that Senator Moreno, angry at not having been authorized to speak during the debate, physically faced Fernández Noroña.

The head of the Senate said he would call an emergency session to propose to the expulsion of Mr. Moreno and three other opposition legislators who joined the melee.
