Franco's side shot Blas Infante in 1936, a tribunal fined him 2,000 pesetas in 1940, and his widow paid

Blas Infante led the movement for Andalusian self-government. In August 1936, weeks into the Civil War, rebels took him from his home in Coria del Río near Seville. His daughter María de los Ángeles was six. He was shot; sources give the date as 10 or 11 August 1936. On 4 May 1940 the Tribunal of Political Responsibilities issued a posthumous sentence under a 1939 law, citing his Andalusian nationalist activity. The penalty was a fine of 2,000 pesetas, which passed to his estate. His widow, Angustias García Parias, received the notice. "She paid it, of course," his daughter told Público. The sentence has never been annulled. Relatives and Andalusian and left-wing parties have asked for annulment; his daughter said it should stand so people can see what the regime did. His body is thought to lie in the Pico Reja mass grave in Seville's San Fernando cemetery. In 2017 the historian José Díaz Arriaza said finding it would be difficult but not impossible. Excavators recovered 1,786 sets of remains from Pico Reja. In June 2026 the first was identified by DNA, a teacher and former city councillor named José León Trejo. Infante has not been identified.
