Contents
Background
Alba was born in the district of Quartelo di Trabbajetto, city of Vilònorda, province of Norden, to Pierro and Riccarda Alba. He is the second of three children.
Alba was educated in the Nord-Brutlandese public school systems. He graduated from high school in 1958 and did not go to college. He worked instead in the city’s factories.
Politics
He became part of the Worker’s Union, and plunged into the activities of the Communist Party of Brutland and Norden. He officially became a member in 1967.
Alba ran for the Vilònorda city council in 1978 as the Communist candidate, and won in a five-way race. He held that position until 1986, when he stepped down in favor of fellow Communist Tornessa di Carmolli (now a federal MP representing the same district). He ran for the Norden House of Commons, and won, representing the western part of the working district of Quartelo di Trabbajetto. In the House of Commons, he became known for denouncing the monarchy as a “useless, obsolete carcass of our feudal past that must be demolished” in a speech widely criticized not only in Norden but also in Brutland.
He sat in the House of Commons until 1996, when he ran, and won, a seat in the Norden Senate. There, he was known for espousing the Communist agenda in the Legislature, albeit winning rarely.
The Communist Party nominated him to run for governor of Norden as part of the combined Communist-Green ticket in 2004. He finished third of the field of four.
Alba announced his retirement from politics after his defeat. He instead took the test for diplomats in 2005 and passed (he scored high). He was accepted to the diplomatic corps.
