Carrillo thought that the transition would be negotiated between himself, as the representative of the workers and intellectuals, and the modernising capitalists and progressive elements in the army and the church.
Carrillo was correct in seeing that the capitalists realised the need for interlocutors between workers and bosses, but he was wrong in thinking that he was the sole candidate for that position.
Carrillo realised that the election defeat had been so disastrous that he would be unable to carry on as before, and on the third day of the meeting he announced that he was giving up as General Secretary in favour of Gerardo Iglesias, a young, fairly obscure organiser from Asturias.

 Spanish Transition to Democracy
With the exception of the two PCE leaders, Santiago Carrillo and Francisco Frutos, who were interviewed in 1997 and 1998, the interviews were conducted in April/May 1999.
