Francesca Lluc Armengol Socias, known as Francina Armengol Socias (Catalan: [fɾənˈsinə əɾməŋˈgɔl soˈsiəs]; born 11 August 1971), is a Spanish politician from the Socialist Party of the Balearic Islands. She currently serves as president of the Congress of Deputies since 2023 and as member of the Congress of Deputies from the Balearic Islands since 2023.

Political career

Armengol served as president of the Balearic Islands between 2015 and 2023, and also the first woman to ever hold the office.

In the 2023 Spanish general election Armengol was elected to the 15th Congress of Deputies representing the Balearic Islands. In August 2023, the Socialists had Armengol appointed speaker or president of the Congress of Deputies with support from Catalan pro-independence parties.
