'''Mariano Zufía Urrizalqui''' (1920-2005), {{lang-eu|Mariano Zufia Urrizalki}}, was a [[Spaniards|Spanish]] politician and a [[Navarre
==Family and youth==

First representatives of the Zufía family were noted
Mariano frequented schools in Pamplona and Andoain; in the early 1930s he entered a preparatory college for Seminario Mayor in [[:es:Saturrarán (playa)|Saturrarán]].<ref>
[[File:Mariano Zufia 1948.jpg|thumb|160px|wedding photo, 1947]]
In 1947 Zufía married Rosalia Sanz Gurbindo<ref>
==Early public engagements (prior to 1960)==
[[File:Flag of Cross of Burgundy.svg|thumbnail|left|Carlist standard]]
Both
Zufía refused to accept the [[Unification Decree (Spain, 1937)|unification]] into [[FET y de las JONS|Falange Española Tradicionalista]]; at the time he was in personal entourage of José María Zaldivar Arenzana, the fiercely anti-falangist AET jefe.<ref>
[[File:Zubiaur 1954.jpg|thumb|[[:es:Actos de Montejurra|Montejurra ascent]], mid-1950s]]
Upon getting married in 1947 Zufía focused on his growing family and on professional career, especially that in 1948-1959 he lived in provincial Navarrese cities. At the time his Carlist activity boiled down to cultivating private links and to frequenting the annual [[:es:Actos de Montejurra|Montejurra ascents]].<ref>
==Rise to officialdom (1960-1971)==
[[File:Princess Irene and Carlos Hugo wedding.jpg|thumb|left|wedding of [[Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma|Carlos Hugo]], 1964]]
In 1960 Zufía for the first time aspired to public post; he headed a list of Carlist candidates, who from the so-called [[Municipal electoral regime during Francoism|tercio familiar pool]] and on a hardly veiled anti-Francoist ticket ran for the Pamplona town hall. He emerged successful, only to find that his mandate has been annulled by the electoral office. He did not meet the requirement of 2-year-residence in the district; the later biography presents this episode as a minor technicality used by the administration to prevent opposition candidates from entering the [[ayuntamiento]].<ref>
During the local elections of 1966 Zufía stood as the candidate of [[:es:Hermandad Obrera de Acción Católica|Hermandad Obrera de Acción Católica]]. He and two other HOAC contenders were elected. Zufía was nominated one of deputy mayors and elected as president of Comisión de Hacienda.<ref>
[[File:Members of the Pamplona ayuntamiento speaking to Partido Carlista militants.jpg|thumb|Zufia (3fR) as city councilor, 1968]]
In the late 1960s the progressist faction of Carlos Hugo marginalized the Traditionalists and took control over the Carlist structures nationwide. None of the sources consulted lists Zufía as a protagonist in this confrontation. On the one hand, he cultivated Traditionalist features when engaged in religious initiatives, be it as member of Consejo Pastoral or Junta Diocesana Económica; he even drafted new economic scheme for local parishes, the plan well received by the archbishop.<ref>
==Rise to Partido Carlista command (1971-1976)==
[[File:Zubiaur 1969.jpg|thumb|160px|left|[[José Ángel Zubiaur Alegre|Zubiaur]]]]
Since the late 1960s Zufía, deputy director of the Pamplona Banco de Bilbao branch and member of the city council, was a recognized and well-positioned figure in Navarre; as such he started frequenting meetings of the carlohuguista command group, organized across the border in [[Arbonne]]. His party activity became increasingly hectic; he took part in executive sittings, delivered lectures at various courses<ref>
In 1971 Zufía was nominated to the newly created Partido Carlista supreme body Junta de Gobierno, and especially to its permanent Secretaría General;<ref>
[[File:Sokoa 1977.jpg|thumb|Zufia (2fR) at protest sitting, [[Hendaye]], mid-1970s]]
In 1973 and for reasons which are not clear Zufía did not seek prolongation of his term in the city council;<ref>
==In the party executive (1976-1979)==
[[File:Javier 1977.jpg|thumb|left|EKA in Javier, 1977]]
In late 1975 Carlos Hugo asked Zufía to move to [[Madrid]] to manage nationwide politics of Partido Carlista on the daily basis. He agreed and in early 1976 he represented PC in co-ordination committee of [[Plataforma de Convergencia Democrática|Plataforma de Convergencía Democrática]].<ref>
Following more than a year in Madrid Zufía returned to Pamplona in 1977; within the federative structure of Partido Carlista he assumed jefatura of its vasco-navarrese branch, [[Carlist Party of Euskal Herria|Euskadiko Karlista Alderdia]]; he also held the seat in Consejo Federal del Partido Carlista.<ref>
[[File:ToledoElecciones15Jun77.jpg|thumb|[[1977 Spanish general election|general elections, 1977]]]]
PC has not been registered prior to [[1977 Spanish general election|elections]] and it campaigned as “Agrupación Electoral Montejurra”;<ref>MacClancy 2000, p. 192</ref> Zufía headed the list of PC candidates to the lower chamber in Navarre,<ref>

Following disastrous electoral result of 1979 most PC high executives, including its president Carlos Hugo and the secretary general [[José María Zavala Castella|José María Zavala]], resigned. It seemed that the prince, disillusioned and embittered by defeat, was pondering upon dissolution of the party,<ref>

[[File:Cartell PCV.png|thumb|160px|PC
Within Partido Carlista Zufía's task was to combat defeatism in the party ranks.<ref>especially that rumors had it that PC would soon merge either with PNV or PSOE, ''Hoja Oficial de Lunes'' 07.04.80, available [https://prensahistorica.mcu.es/es/catalogo_imagenes/grupo.do?path=7154388&posicion=6&presentacion=pagina here]</ref> However, he failed to stop disintegration of the electoral social base.<ref>at the Zufía-led Montejurra ascents of 1980 and 1981 there were merely 1,000 militants attending, ''Hoja Oficial de Lunes'' 05.05.80, available [https://prensahistorica.mcu.es/es/catalogo_imagenes/grupo.do?path=2000992944&posicion=27&presentacion=pagina here]; others claimed 2,000, see MacClancy 2000, p. 275</ref> During [[1982 Spanish general election|electoral campaign of 1982]] Zufía initially headed the PC list for the [[Senate of Spain|Senate]],<ref>
==Last years (after 1985)==
[[File:Comptos ganbera patioa Iruñea 2011.JPG|thumb|left|[[Cámara de Comptos de Navarra|Cámara de Comptos]] site]]
In the late 1980s Zufía served his second term as president of Cámara de Comptos. His biography hails him as an impartial public servant bent on combating corruption, who advocated and in fact enforced transparency in the public sector.<ref>
Today Mariano Zufía is remembered mostly as the Navarrese public official, especially the one who helped to build the regional fiscal and public spendings machinery. In 2007 Fundación para la Formación e Investigación en Auditoría del Sector Público FIASEP, an independent institution promoting transparency in public finances, set up Premio Mariano Zufía; on irregular basis it is awarded since 2009.<ref>
