Monsiváis argues that nothing can mitigate what happened in the Plaza de las Tres Cultura that October 2; neither the resignation of a police chief, nor the release of Demetrio Vallejo and Valentín Campa, nor the repeal of the crime of social dissolution.

In his plaza, the narrator notes, ‘the Chihuahua Building remains, with the stories of astonishment and humiliation, with the newly installed glass, with the residue of blood still visible, with the livid flesh of those who inhabit it... it stands as “a symbol that reminds us and points us to those who, in order to remain [in power], suspended and decapitated Mexican innocence”.
