The other side of Diego Maradona's historic wake had moments of anxiety just meters away from the president and vice president inside the Casa Rosada.

As if in the stands of a stadium, the fans who went to say goodbye to El Diez climbed the bars of the esplanade on Balcarce Street and invaded the Government House.

Besides Rafael Di Zeo, former leader of the Boca Juniors fan club, the bust of Hipólito Yrigoyen rolled down the corridors and at times the fans took over the Patio de las Palmeras.

President Alberto Fernandez approaches the balcony minutes before people overflow the fences that protect the Casa Rosada.

This happened minutes after VP Cristina Kirchner entered the palace and seconds after president Alberto Fernández stepped out onto the balcony. The government evaluated evacuating the president, in a situation of palatial tension that had not occurred since former president Fernando de la Rúa had fled by helicopter in December 2001.

Eduardo "Wado" de Pedro sheltered Cristina in his office until the situation calmed down. The Minister of the Interior took control of the situation over Santiago Cafiero, who in theory is his boss. And he led the search for the culprits.

In a Twitter message, Wado demanded that Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Diego Santilli "stop this madness that the city's police are carrying out. "This popular tribute cannot end in repression against those who come to say goodbye to Maradona," added De Pedro.

"We hold the Federal Police and Security Forces responsible for the incidents that have occurred, because they have been generated by the Buenos Aires police," said the Ministry of Security of the Nation, led by Sabina Frederic, in a statement.

The national government accused the city government of "agitating" the incidents, after a repression that started on Avenida de Mayo and 9 de Julio, where the City Police prevented the entrance to thousands of excited fans because they knew they were staying out of the wake, which was scheduled to end at 4 pm.

After the tweet of Wado and contacts with the Buenos Aires government, the access of those thousands of people who went to Plaza de Mayo was released, but the government, which had extended the wake until 7 pm after the negotiations of Cristina herself with Claudia Villafañe, had to take the coffin out of the Salón de los Pueblos Originarios.

The wake was suspended and the coffin was removed from La Rosada around 6pm. In the middle of the crisis, the President issued a statement in which he held Maradona's family responsible. "The family had chosen to hold the wake at the Casa Rosada, a decision that the government accompanied. Later, the family decided to end the wake at 4pm," the statement said.

The search for culprits outside did not stop the domestic charges from being made. There was criticism of the lack of experience in organizing really massive mobilizations of the Chief of Staff - in charge of the funeral - and some even pointed to the Military House, which depends on the Secretary General, Julio Vitobello, and is in charge of the security of the President and the Casa Rosada.
