The Carlist Traditionalist Communion is a Spanish political movement and former political party established in 1986 during the “Carlist Unity Congress” held in San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid). It unified several traditionalist Carlist groups dissatisfied with the leftist direction of the Carlist Party under Carlos Hugo de Borbón-Parma.
The name derives from the historical political party of Carlism, Traditionalist Communion with the addition of Carlist (Traditionalist-Carlist), a designation occasionally used during the 1930s at the initiative of Don Alfonso Carlos.
The Congress brought together three distinct political parties: Catholic-Monarchist Communion: Linked to the General Zumalacárregui Study Center of Francisco Elías de Tejada, based in Madrid.
Carlist Union: Composed of Carloctavists and supporters of the Regency of Estella, primarily active in Vizcaya and Catalonia.
Traditionalist Communion: Representing former followers of Javier de Borbón-Parma, with a presence in Valencia, Seville, Madrid, and Asturias.
In 1996, the faction loyal to Sixto Enrique de Borbón was expelled from the CTC. In 2000, they reconstituted their own political organization under his leadership, reclaiming the name Traditionalist Communion.
