Mexico City Lawmakers Brawl Over Budget
On December 15, 2025, a big fight happened in Mexico City’s Congress.
Women from two different political parties, PAN and Morena, started pushing and pulling each other’s hair.
They were arguing about a new budget plan and a deal about being transparent with the government’s money.
A video of the fight went viral on social media.
The video shows the women fighting at the podium, with some men watching but not stopping the fight right away.
The PAN party says the Morena party broke a promise to make a new group to watch over the government’s money.
The fight was very messy and everyone was trying to control the podium.
After the fight, the PAN lawmakers left the room, and the Morena party continued the debate without them.
A physical altercation erupted among women lawmakers in Mexico City’s Congress on December 15, 2025.
PAN lawmakers protested a budget proposal and alleged procedural violation by the ruling Morena party.
The scuffle involved hair-pulling, slapping, and elbowing as Morena lawmakers tried to remove PAN members from the podium.
PAN lawmakers walked out of the chamber after the altercation, and Morena continued the debate in their absence.
Morena spokesman Paulo Garcia expressed concern over the opposition's resort to violence.
