The President of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, was booed during the National Congress of the Labor Party last Saturday. At the event, which took place in a hotel in the historic center of Mexico City, attendees were calling for Fernández Noroña to join the Labor Party. Despite the pressure, the senator stated that he will continue to promote unity and regretted being invited to the event to 'be harmed'.
At a moment when Fernández Noroña was trying to express his message with the microphone in hand, those present began to shout and make noise, prompting the senator to leave the venue due to the hostile response. Last February, Fernández Noroña joined Morena, despite the fact that in the previous elections the Labor Party had supported him to obtain a position in the legislative power.
Videos documenting the uncomfortable situation Fernández Noroña experienced during the Labor Party event circulated on social media. So far, the Labor Party has not made any statement about what happened, while the senator said that, despite everything, he will continue to promote unity out of conviction, although he may distance himself from the Labor Party after feeling unfairly treated.
