Francina Armengol

Francina Armengol is the current President of the Congress of Deputies in Spain. She is newsworthy due to her involvement in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the 'Koldo case', specifically regarding the purchase of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic when she served as the President of the Balearic Islands. Armengol has testified in writing, stating she did not order contracts with the company at the center of the alleged corruption scheme. Koldo García's defense is requesting that Armengol and Ángel Víctor Torres (also involved) provide in-person testimony. The trial against José Luis Ábalos, the former Minister of Transport, has commenced, and Armengol's role in the mask procurement process is under scrutiny, making her a key figure in the unfolding scandal.
