Memorialists celebrate the letter from the Government for the departure of Queipo and ask for a meeting with the brotherhood

The “out Queipo de la Macarena” that for years, periodically, has sounded at the doors of the Macarena has counted the hours. The memorial movement is already very clear that Queipo’s remains will leave the basilica sooner or later. The tributes to reprisals like the one in 2013 or those anti-fascist vigils every July 17, even before the Archbishopric, coinciding with the anniversary of the coup that marked the start of the Spanish Civil War, will remain in the memory. There are many voices that have requested what the Government has already ordered, as elDiario.es announced last night: the transfer “as soon as possible” of the remains of the coup leader to comply with the Democratic Memory Law, in force since Friday. Despite this, the Andalusian Coordinator for Historical and Democratic Memory has sent this Monday morning a letter to the Board, the Brotherhood of Macarena and the City Council to “not waste a minute” and to print “urgency” to the procedure.

Sources from the memorial coordinator indicate that the letter has been taking shape over the past week, according to the associations it integrates and others in all the provinces of Andalusia, so that it has coincided almost in time with the step taken by the Government from Spain. The coordinator has transferred the parties that were “in the forefront” of the memorial movement to request that the Law be developed as soon as possible in this regard, although the only one to whom she has requested a meeting has been the brotherhood itself, with in order to know first-hand if he really wants to remove the remains from their current location in the basilica.

The memorialist movement, which celebrates the letter signed by the Secretary of State for Democratic Memory, Fernando Martínez, does not want to waste “a minute in what has been waiting for decades” and began working a few days ago so that the procedure can start again. according to the law and Queipo stops occupying a preeminent place in Macarena, trusting “in the disposition of the brotherhood and of all the administrations to comply with the law as soon as possible.”
