The Secretary of State for Democratic Memory, Fernando Martínez, has signed the agreement in the Hispanic capital, together with the Councilor for Culture and Sport, Patricia del Pozo; the president of the Seville Provincial Council, Javier Fernández, and the deputy mayor/delegate councilor for Finance, Administration and Digital Transformation of the Seville City Council, Juan Francisco Bueno.
It is estimated that in the mass grave there are mortal remains of around 2,600 victims of the war and the repression of the Franco dictatorship. It is not the first intervention in this cemetery, since the administrations that today have signed this protocol had already acted in the pit of Pico Reja, where the remains of 1,786 people could be rescued, shot after extremely high war councils and in application of the side of the rebellious general Queipo de Llano.
