Waiting to be told how to proceed and divided by the matter. This is the Brotherhood of the Macarena, in Seville, in whose basilica are the mortal remains of the Francoist soldier Queipo del Llano who, according to the State Law of Democratic Memory, must leave its facilities.
As confirmed by José Antonio Fernández Cabrero, older brother of the Brotherhood, they are "wanting" to receive some guidance in this regard so that a debate that is dragging on over time is closed.
La Macarena should not rush into making its own decision since its almost 17,000 brothers are "divided", which increases the urgency to "arbitrate the decree" that marks the action plan to be followed, he declared.
The reform of the State Law of Democratic Memory prevents the presence of Francoist figures in preeminent places, announcing the central government that the mortal remains of the coup general will be exhumed and buried in a "dignified" manner, where his family "decides".
In this scenario, Fernández Cabrero argued that he has "no problem" with the matter, pointing out that "perhaps someone does", since he has stated that what is appropriate is that the authorities, "as soon as possible, arbitrate the decree and say " to the brotherhood "what" you have to do for it to act. "We will do it when they tell us and, furthermore, I am looking forward to it," he emphasized.
The Junta de Andalucía already announced in July 2018 the creation of a committee focused on making a decision on the place where the remains of Queipo de Llano should rest, in addition to other elements contrary to historical memory that had not been voluntarily removed or eliminated. by their owners.
A plenary agreement of the Seville City Council, adopted in 2016, demanded that the Macarena temple stop hosting the former soldier due to its direct link with the executions that took place in the city of Seville after the 1936 coup.
