Edmundo Bal Francés (born 2 July 1967)[1] is a Spanish lawyer and politician. As a member of the State Lawyers Corps, he prosecuted La Liga footballers for tax avoidance, members of the governing People's Party for corruption (Gürtel case), and proponents of the Catalan independence movement for sedition.
A member of the Citizens party, Bal was elected to the Congress of Deputies in April 2019 for the Madrid constituency. He led the party in the 2021 Madrilenian regional election, in which they lost all 26 of their seats, and he came runner-up to Patricia Guasp in their 2023 leadership election. He was expelled from the party for criticising their decision not to contest the 2023 Spanish general election.
