The Carlist Party (Spanish language: Partido Carlista, Catalan language: Partit Carlí, Euskera: Karlista Alderdia, Galician language: Partido Carlista, Asturian language: Partíu Carlista. 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 dictator Franco and the democratisation of Spain.
The general secretary of the party, since the year 2000, has been Evaristo Olcina. Its official publication is El Federal (since 1999, had been before IM). It has a political line of the alternative left, workers' self-management and federalism. 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 to be the "Left-Wing" of the Carlist Movement since the movement itself primarily belonged to the Right-wing spectrum such as Conservatism. It was also known for supporting Carlos Hugo over his brother for leading the Carlist movement.
The current organisation of the Carlist Party originates from the renovation of the ideology of the illegal Traditionalist Communion, which it was conceived during the 1950s and 1960s in a situation of illegality and prohibition imposed under the Francoist dictatorship to university and workers organisations of non-integrated Carlism (Group of Traditionalist Students, AET, the university, Traditionalist Worker’s Movement, MOT, the workers) into the Francoist only official party, with the support of prince Carlos Hugo de Bourbon-Parma, even though the name of the Carlist Party did not materialize until the end of the 1960s.
Between 1970 and 1972 the Carlist Party organised Congresses of the Carlist People in Arbonne, in which it adopted a program for the ideological change of Carlism towards self-management socialism and the conversion of PC into a federal and democratic party of the masses, of class, which aspired to a socialist-based monarchy in a pact between the dynasty and the people. The leader, Francesc Xavier, after suffering a serious automobile accident, conceded full powers to his son, Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma, represented in Spain for José María de Zavala, to run the party and resigned on 20 April 1975.
