The incident highlighted ongoing tensions between the two figures, who have been characterized as confrontational representatives of their political generation. Fernández Noroña has faced criticism for contradictions between his austerity rhetoric and personal ostentation, as well as for his sensitivity to criticism and physical confrontations. Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas reportedly confronted Noroña over limiting opposition voices during legislative sessions. The episode has drawn public and media scrutiny, with commentators questioning Noroña's consistency and political conduct. In response to a series of provocations, journalist Azucena Uresti announced she would no longer invite Fernández Noroña to her news program, citing that his behavior had crossed acceptable boundaries.
