On Thursday night, on the eve of the rally, Romero Telaci showed up at CIDE Santa Fe facilities as he intended to hand over to campus security a list of the names of workers and students active in the institution in order that outside that list would not allow entry to people outside the research center.

The students who seized the facilities refused to receive these lists and asked him to sign a letter of non-retaliation from the student community, but the Director General refused and the terms of the dialogue handed over the facilities.
