The Mina El Aguilar workers went on a historic march and maintained the decision to remain in front of the Government House until a favorable response was given to the demands. The six hundred workers and their families undertook the mobilization, in the face of the company's refusal to remove Ruiz Díaz, the general manager who had neglected the most essential values of the miners. They also expressed safety risks suffered by workers and other ailments to which they are exposed.

The company had initially retaliated by paying partial payment of the fortnight worked as a punishment for the indefinite strike that the workers began. With the demonstration, the company promised to displace the general manager Javier Ruiz Díaz. It also denounced for ill-treatment of the workers; promised to pay the entirety of the first fortnight that had been partially liquidated in retaliation to the measure of force adopted by the miners and to continue with the plan agreed with the Ministry of Labor within the framework of the mandatory conciliation to guarantee safety inside the mine.
