Mexican lawmakers were filmed pushing and pulling each other’s hair on the floor of Congress in Mexico City on Monday.
The viral video shows female lawmakers from rival parties jostling for a spot on a podium at the front of the chamber. The women’s argument escalates from shouting to pushing and eventually to pulling each other’s hair as other lawmakers try to intervene.
The scene took place during a debate on reforms to the Transparency Surveillance Agency in Mexico City. Members of the right-wing National Action Party (PAN) protested against the behavior of the left-wing Moreno Party, which is the controlling force.
PAN representatives held their positions on stage as Moreno Party members tried to remove them, leading to a scuffle. Both sides condemned the violence after the incident but blamed their opponents for it.

“We entered the stage peacefully, without touching anyone, and the decision of the legislative majority group and its allies was to try to regain control of the administration through violence,” PAN aide Andres Atayde said at a news conference after the incident, according to a translation from the Economic Times.
“It is not only vulgar and not only aggressive, but it is deplorable that this is the majority party in this city,” added PAN lawmaker Daniela Alvarez.

“What worries us a lot is how the opposition systematically resorts to violence instead of arguing, while being unable to debate,” Garcia later said in an interview with Mexican media.
