Durint the last two days, national and foreign tourists stop by and carefully observe the damage made not only to the statue of the Mother, but to the wholw Maternity Park. Tourist guides explain to them what happened in the place.

So far they have not been able to remove the paint, work has to be done in conjunction with the National Institute of Antropology and History: INAH.
