Miguel Ángel García Hernández (29 January 1899 – 14 December 1930) was a Spanish soldier who was one of the leaders of the failed Jaca uprising which tried to overthrow the monarchy.

[5] At dawn on 13 December 1930 at the heights of Cillas, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Huesca, the rebels found themselves confronted by the government force.

[5] On 14 December in a short court martial captains Galán and García Hernández were condemned to death, while other officers were sentenced to life imprisonment.

[5] The captains were tried by a summary Council of War in the Pedro I Barracks in Huesca presided over by General Arturo Lezcano, and were sentenced to death by firing squad.

[8] In Madrid the Prime Minister General Damaso Berenguer declared, "The Palace was fully convinced that the exemplary executions of Galán and García Hernández will prevent the spread of revolutionary ideas in the Army."

With almost the entire future government of the Republic in the Model Prison, no one could imagine that a tidal wave was forming beneath the surface and that the water would burst forth, like a fountain and fireworks display,on that fateful April 4th.

[6] Galán and García Hernández became heroes of the Second Republic, with their portraits displayed in council chambers and the homes of workers throughout Spain.

[11] In October 2017 the graves of Fermín Galán Rodríguez and Ángel García Hernández in the Cemetery of Huesca were declared historical sites of cultural interest, to be specially protected by the municipality.
