Carlist Party (1970)

The Carlist Party (, , , , ; PC) is a Spanish political party that considers itself as a successor to the historical tradition of Carlism. The party was founded in 1970, although it remained illegal until 1977 following the death of the caudillo Francisco Franco and the democratisation of Spain.

Since 2000, the general secretary of the party has been Evaristo Olcina and its official publication since is ''El Federal''. It has a political line of the alternative left, workers' self-management and confederalism. It annually organises the acts of Montejurra. The Carlist Party holds a federal structure with the possibility of it forming sovereign Carlist parties in the associate nationalities in the Carlist Party. The youths of the different Carlist parties and Carlist groups group together in the Carlist Youths. The party is known as the left-wing of the Carlist movement since the movement itself has historically been a right-wing conservative one.

The Carlist Party was also known for supporting Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma over his brother for leading the Carlist movement. Provided by Wikipedia
