By divulging the news of Perón's incarceration, the working people absent themselves to the factories and marched spontaneously to the pink house demanding the release of Perón. The protests started on the 15th of that same month and came to its boom when more than 500,000 thousand people mobilized throughout the country for a period of only three days (Monday 15 to Wednesday 17). Although the bridges were ordered to rise so that the workers could not cross the city, they did not surrender and they also went swimming or in improvised boats. The military government had no choice but to yield to the pressure of the people who did not leave the May Square until they saw those years ago fighting for their rights. Finally, Perón is taken to the government house. They ask him to take the people out of the square. He agrees, but on the condition that free elections will be organized for the following year and he may run as a candidate. The military agrees and Perón goes to the box to give a heated speech to those who would then be baptized by his future wife, Eva Perón, how: "my Deamides".
