Punches and slaps: Watch as Mexican Senate debate ends in brawl

The Mexican Senate session descended into chaos as a heated debate between two senior politicians turned physical. Footage shows the two lawmakers, one from the ruling party and the other from the opposition, exchanging punches and slaps on the Senate floor. The altercation reportedly began after a heated exchange over legislative proposals. Security personnel had to intervene to separate the politicians and restore order. The incident has drawn widespread criticism, with many commentators condemning the use of violence in the legislative chamber. The Mexican Senate president has vowed to investigate the incident and take appropriate action against those involved. The episode has raised concerns about the deteriorating political discourse in the country and the need for lawmakers to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to physical confrontation.
