Julio Garro, former mayor of La Plata, uploaded a video to social networks. The video came three days after the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Sports began a staff reduction plan at CeNARD.

Garro showed leaks, broken wiring, humidity on walls and the cracked athletics track, among other images. "Sport is in progress! We are going to put our maximum effort to turn history around," Garro launched three months before the start of the Paris Olympic Games. The Olympic Games begin in three months.
