History
In July 2010, the party announced its intention to participate in the Catalan regional parliament election with the name of Castilian Party–Party of the Cultures of Catalonia.[4]
During the Spanish general election 2011, the party formed an association with the Cantabrian Regionalist Party and contested the election.[5]
Party split
Since the party's creation, there were two very different political currents: one more official (which supported the union of the whole of Castile), and another much stronger in support to simpler regionalist ideas (which supported the political reality in force). During the party congress in October 2011, a majority of party members unanimously approved a new political strategy and changed the former name "Party of Castile and León" to simply the "Castilian Party". This initiative was promoted and supported by the party directorate and caused the regionalist current to quit the party. The splinter group decided to found a new party called the Regionalist Party of Castile and León (PRCAL).[6]
