Ibarra Pedroza attempted to negotiate the removal of the monument with the state's branch of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), citing that it was against their guidelines since it was a historic area and it had to be respected. Architects cited the building of the Guadalajara Centro railway station as an example of previous omissions to those guidelines. The director of the state's INAH, Alicia García Vázquez, mentioned that it should "remain in that space, because in the end it symbolically represents these disappeared or murdered women" and that its permanence should be analyzed like any other monument.
