What happens
With the death of the childless Alfonso Carlos, the Carlist line has been extinguished, and as a result a split has emerged in the Carlist movement. There are those who would support the claim of the successor appointed by Alfonso Carlos himself: Xavier of Bourbon-Parma, but he has no dynastic claim to the throne. Others would rather support the claim of the exiled king Alfonso XIII, who despite being a scion of the traitorous line descended from Isabella II, does have a dynastic claim to the throne. If this question is not handled swiftly, it may well cause our support to fracture into various squabbling camps.
