From its creation, the Junta de Andalucía set out to recover the memory of the Andalusian victims of the reprisals during Franco's regime. This is the case of Juan Díaz del Moral, a notary as Blas Infante was, historian of the Andalusian peasantry and promoter, as a deputy, of the Land Reform Act of the Spanish II Republic. Díaz del Moral was paid tribute in Bujalance in the presence of the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Rafael Escuredo, under the still suspicious look of his fellow citizens.
