The older brother of the Brotherhood of the Macarena, José Antonio Fernández Cabrero, has communicated to the Secretary of State for Historical and Democratic Memory that this religious entity “he has been working for a long time” on the transfer of the mortal remains of General Queipo de Llano, buried in the Sevillian basilica of the Macarena.
The brotherhood has issued a video of his older brother in which Fernández Cabrero claims to have spoken this Monday afternoon with the Secretary of State for Historical and Democratic Memory, Fernando Martínez López, and to have responded this morning to the letter sent by this department in which the brotherhood was asked to exhume and transfer the remains “as soon as possible”.
Macarena’s older brother has expressed his thanks to the Secretary of State for his letter, for its content and for his willingness to collaborate with the Sevillian brotherhood in everything that was necessary in these tasks.
For Fernández Cabrero, the letter from the Secretary of State vcomes to reinforce the efforts carried out by the brotherhood in compliance with the new Law of Historical and Democratic Memory, which entered into force last Friday.

The Brotherhood of the Macarena “will comply with the law as we have announced so many times” and so, Fernández Cabrero has insisted, he has communicated it to the Secretary of State.
The letter sent by the Government to the Brotherhood of La Macarena also refers to the mortal remains of war auditor Francisco Bohórquez Vecina, also buried in the basilica, since the new norm establishes that “the mortal remains of leaders of the 1936 military coup may not be or remain buried in a pre-eminent place of public access”.
