Having personal authorisation of the regent-claimant Don Javier , Valiente remained in the Falangist Consejo Nacional ( until 1942 ) , but he refused the offer of Rodezno , who assumed the Ministry of Justice in the first Francoist cabinet of 1938 and asked Valiente to be his sub-secretary ( the post went to Luis Arellano instead ) . Until 1942 , when Franco ignored Don Javier 's proposal of forming a Carlist-Francoist government , Valiente seemed to hope for a compromise , but he switched to opposition against Francoism later on . In 1945 , following the Carlist anti-Francoist demonstrations in Pamplona , he was detained and expected facing the firing squad ; eventually the sanctions adopted were relatively mild , especially compared to the terror employed against the Left
