A group of female lawmakers in Mexico's Congress got into a physical altercation on December 15, with cameras broadcasting the fight live as they pulled each other's hair and exchanged punches.
The brawl broke out after a group of women from the right-wing National Action Party (PAN) approached the legislature's main podium in protest against a rule they claimed had been violated by the left-wing Morena party, which has a majority in the legislature.
The debate included reforming the city government's transparency oversight agency, according to local media reports.
A video of the incident shows at least five lawmakers from both parties arguing intensely, with members elbowing, slapping and pulling each other's hair, as Morena lawmakers attempted to physically remove the PAN members from the podium, despite their refusal to move.
“ We went up to the podium peacefully, without touching anyone, and the decision made by the majority legislative group and its allies was to try to regain control of the board through violence ,” said Mr. Andres Atayde, an aide to the PAN representatives, at a press conference after the incident.
Ms. Daniela Alvarez, one of the PAN lawmakers who approached the podium, told reporters: “Not only is it vulgar, not only is it aggressive, but it is also sad that this is the majority governing party for this city.”
After the altercation, the PAN lawmakers left the chamber and the Morena majority resumed the debate without the opposition party present, according to reports posted on the social media accounts of the Mexico City Congress.
