4. Carrero

The victory falangista would not have favored the Franc plans with respect to a soft transition toward the monarchy of Juan Carlos. Furthermore, the stuffy puritanismo that was characterizing to Exempt, to their/its/your/his increasingly intimate I validate, Luis White Carrero, and to their/its respective women, had been seen offended by the mild liberalization impelled by Fraga in the Information Ministry. Thus, in a ministerial readjustment around the end of October, Exempt dismissed to three ministers of the Opus Dei as punishment by the matter Matesa, but also was released of Solís and of Fraga, as punishment by attempting to capitalize politically an incident that had damaged the prestige of the Government. With all, the technocrats of the Opus Dei could preserve their/its positions in the new Government, in the one which the dominant figures were the admiral White Carrero and López Rolled.

Maybe conscious of the fact that his vitality was going in decrease, Exempt chose to White Carrero for the vicepresidencia and prime minister in fact. The little brilliant dryness admiral was the person adapted to carry forward the policy of continuismo and to guarantee that Juan Carlos is not diverted from the procedures established by the Commander.

Carrero, though were found narrowly bound to the Opus Dei through the influence of their/its/your/his woman and of the that were said that had persuaded to Exempt of the fact that abandoned the autarchy and let to prove luck to the technocrats, was resulting very acceptable for the inmovilistas. Was the living incarnation of the hard line of the franquismo of the years forty and was narrowly identified with the own Commander. The first political Carrero assignment had been attended, in 1939, the celebration in Rome of the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of the fascist Movement. Thirty and a years afterwards will write in ABC, under the pseudonym of Ginés of Buitrago, that to try to liberalizing to Spain was something so censurable as offering a work to a reformed alcoholic.

The call Government monocolor acquired tone of this sullen figure. The powerful group of the ministers of the Opus Dei, that was including Gregorio Brave López, in Foreign Matters, was going to be the one which attempted to make reality the White Carrero grants to the modernidad. His plan of a franquismo without Exempt were based on the hope of the fact that continued the economic prosperity, as substitute of the political liberalization. It did not result surprising, since, that the new minister - secretary of the movement, Torcuato Fernández Miranda, put end immediately to the project Solís of political associations, by dread to the fact that these gave cause for a proliferation of truth party.
