Biography

Born on 16 March 1990 in Madrid,[1] daughter of writer Isabel Alba Rico,[2] her father is an Egyptian, Ahmed Goueli.[3] Through her mother, she is granddaughter of Lolo Rico[2] and great-great-granddaughter of Santiago Alba Bonifaz. Raised in the Basque Autonomous Community,[3] she earned a licentiate degree in Psychology from the University of the Basque Country, later obtaining a Master in Psychology of the Education at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM).[4][5]

She led the Podemos-Ahal Dugu congressional electoral list in Gipuzkoa for the December 2015 general election,[6] and became a member of the 11th term of the Lower House. She became the Secretary-General of Podemos Euskadi in March 2016, replacing Roberto Uriarte.[7][8] She repeated the leading place in the party list in Gipuzkoa for the June 2016 general election,[9] renovating her seat for the 12th Congress of Deputies.

Considered (in the context of the Vistalegre II party assembly) close to the project of Íñigo Errejón (defeated by Pablo Iglesias'),[10] she called in August 2017 a snap primary election to determine the party leadership in the Basque Country, announcing she would not stand up for re-election.[10]
