The institution demanded the return of the CCH Sur “because the demands that gave rise to the student movement were the result of their opportunity, and there is no reason to withhold them illegally.”
According to the newspaper Reforma, to the campus that is Jardines del Pedregal, Coyoacán, some patrols and fire crews arrived, but did not intervene.

However, he said, “We couldn’t get close because the people who started the fire threw objects to prevent it. We do not know the reasons why they performed these vandalism.”
During the burning of furniture, the group of people also threw different objects at journalists present.
