It is generally agreed that Montejurra contributed to major transformation of Carlism of the era. The monthly helped to educate a generation of young militants who understood Carlism as a socialist movement of protest; it proved instrumental for the Progressist takeover of the movement and gradual marginalisation of the Traditionalists. However, it is not clear whether Montejurra was from the very onset a platform controlled by supporters of prince Carlos Hugo or whether it was rather a platform of first coexistence and then competition between the Traditionalists and the Progressists, with the latter taking the upper hand around 1968. In the former case selected orthodox threads would have been a camouflage and a lever enabling later a left-wing turn. In the latter case orthodox threads would have been present due to initially highly heterogeneous and balanced composition of the editorial board. It is not clear whether Traditionalist authors like de Miguel, López Sanz or Romero Raizabal were manipulated by the Progressists pulling the strings, like Massó, Zabala or Clemente, or whether presence of two groups in Montejurra demonstrated the old gradually giving way to the new in Carlism of the 1960s.
