		Los ataques continúan produciéndose con Odriozola, Van Kessel, García Acosta, Faresin, Moreni, Soler y Petacchi de protagonistas y Del Olmo y Laiseka como postreros contertulios.
		En la subida del puerto de primera categoría atacó García Acosta y poco después se unió a él Laiseka.

		Civil society says, "We stopped them because of our demonstrations in the Zocalo." Surely, the Dioceses in San Cristobal says, "We stopped them because...", I don't know, "...because relations began with certain sectors, such as Manuel Camancho, etc." But there is another theory that says it was the State Department.
