Isabel Franco Carmona

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isabel Franco Carmona (born 27 November 1985)[1] is a Spanish Podemos politician. She was first elected to the Congress of Deputies in 2015, for Huelva and later for Seville.

Biography[edit]

Born in Seville, Franco has a degree in Labour Sciences from the University of Seville and a master's degree in Advanced Labour and Employment Studies from the Complutense University of Madrid.[2] As the expected candidate David Bravo was transferred to lead Podemos' list in Almería,[2] Franco led the party's campaign in Huelva, where she was the youngest candidate; on the subject of not being a resident of the province, she said "all of us who put ourselves forward [in Podemos primaries] for Andalusia are Andalusians".[2] She became the party's first congress member elected from the province, campaigning on the environmental issue of ending phosphogypsum extraction, and increased rail infrastructure.[3]

For the April 2019 elections, Franco was second on the Podemos list in her home province,[4] with the top two elected.[5]

In February 2021, Franco made a speech in Congress in which she accused the "Hispanic Monarchy" of invasion and genocide in the Reconquista. The historical accuracy of the speech was disputed,[6][7][8][9] and earned a response from the Junta of Andalusia's Cultural and Historic Heritage Advisor, Patricia del Pozo: "the history of Andalusia is a history of coexistence, rich from the passage of so many civilisations and the fruit of coexistence".[10]
