In a trial held in 1934, he was expelled from the group. He had refused to take a stance against Spanish militant Francisco Franco (while Surrealist artists like Luis Buñuel, Picasso and Miró had), but its unclear whether this directly led to his expulsion. Officially, Dalí was notified that his expulsion was due to repeated counter-revolutionary activity involving the celebration of fascism under Hitler. It is also likely that members of the movement were aghast at some of Dalís public antics. However, some art historians believe that his expulsion had been driven more by his feud with Surrealist leader André Breton.
