 At the time "paulatino desmantelamiento" of Requeté, apparently intended by the Huguistas, was ongoing, even though its uniformed units played ceremonial roles during key Carlist rallies.Still officially represented in Junta Nacional and Secretaría Nacional, in 1963 the Requeté budget was merely 4% of the entire Comunión spending.The pressure on Valiente mounted and eventually in early 1965 Márquez de Prado was dismissed; as Delegado Nacional de Requeté he was replaced by a 56-year-old Navarrese, Miguel de San Cristobál Ursua.
