Francisco Igea

Francisco Igea Arisqueta (born 17 April 1964) is a Spanish politician who was a member of the Citizens party between 2016 and 2023.

A doctor by profession, he was a member of the Congress of Deputies (2016–2019). He led his party in the 2019 Castilian-Leonese regional election, and became vice president of the Junta of Castile and León after forming a government with the People's Party leader Alfonso Fernández Mañueco.

Igea came runner-up in his party's 2020 leadership election. In the 2022 election, his party lost all their seats in the Cortes of Castile and León except his own. He was expelled from Citizens in 2023 for criticising their decision not to contest the 2023 Spanish general election, and retained his seat as an independent before joining Izquierda Española.
