Rubén Franco
Rubén Oscar Franco (Spanish pronunciation: [ruˈβen ˈos.kaɾ ˈfɾaŋ.ko]; 8 August 1927 – 28 May 2025) was an Argentinian military officer who held power as a member of the Argentine Military Junta from 1982 to 1983. Representing the Argentine Navy, he took power after the Falklands War, later yielding this power to a new legally constituted government headed by Raúl Alfonsín.
Franco assumed the title of Admiral after the army's decision to dissolve the military dictatorship, under which Argentina had been suffering.
After Omar Graffigna's death on 9 December 2019, Franco was the last living former member of Argentina's notorious military juntas.
