Urbano Enrique Buccho (born 19.VIII.1675 AN) is a lawyer and politician in Nouvelle Alexandrie. He served as the Secretary of Labor from 1729 AN until 1733 AN. He has served as Deputy of the Federal Assembly from the Isles of Caputia from 1718 AN until 1733 AN. He resigned both positions under heavy pressure in 1733 AN due to the Buccho affair.
Early Life and Career
Urbano Buccho was born on 19.VIII.1675 AN, in Punta Santiago, Alduria. He is the son of José Buccho, a factory worker, and Maria Buccho, a schoolteacher. Growing up in a working-class family, Buccho was exposed to the challenges faced by laborers from an early age, which inspired his future political career. Buccho attended the Port Karsten University in the Isles of Caputia, where he earned a degree in Political Science and Economics in 1696 AN. In 1700 AN, he graduated with a Juris Doctorate from Velez College in Velez, Isles of Caputia, further solidifying his interest in public service and law. It was during college that he met his wife, Marisol Buccho. They were married in 1696 AN.
During his time in college, he became deeply involved with the local politics of the cities of Port Karsten and Velez. His father had been a union organizer for the General Confederation of Labor. He followed his father's footsteps and joined General Confederation of Labor (GCL) as their junior legal counsel in 1701 AN. Between 1701 AN and 1712 AN, he served as part of the legal counsel team for the GCL, rising to become senior legal counsel at the national level of the labor union.
Political Career
Buccho's political career began as a local city councilmember in the city of Velez, Isles of Caputia. He ran as an independent candidate with the endorsement of the Democratic Socialist Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie (DSP), winning the Third District seat for the city, representing some of the city's most impoverished working class neighborhoods and about 56% of the city's Industrial District. His dedication to improving labor conditions quickly earned him a reputation as a champion of workers' rights. In 1715 AN, he was elected to the regional assembly of the Isles of Caputia, the Congress of the Isles, as a member of the Federal Consensus Party (FCP), where he continued to advocate for labor reforms, social justice, and the importance of the family. He often spoke about or advocated many policy solutions to societal ills such as disregard for workers, absent or philandering fathers, and alcoholism, among many other issues.
Leading up to the 1718 general elections, the Federal Consensus Party asked Buccho to stand for office as a candidate for Deputy of the Federal Assembly. He resigned his seat in the Congress of the Isles and won his seat in the Federal Assembly in 1718 AN. Between 1718 AN and 1729 AN, Buccho became an ardent advocate for the party's platform, in particular to labor and cost of living issues. He opposed the New Alexandrian interventions in Normark and in Ostland.
During the 1729 general elections, the Federal Consensus Party managed to secure support to establish its first government with support form the Progressive Alliance. Buccho was appointed as the Secretary of Labor for Nouvelle Alexandrie. During his tenure, he implemented several key initiatives aimed at enhancing worker protections and improving workplace safety standards. His efforts have been widely recognized and praised, solidifying his position as a leading figure in the Federal Consensus Party.

Buccho is married to Marisol Buccho, and they have two children. The family resides in Velez, Isles of Caputia. Buccho has always portrayed himself as a family man, emphasizing the importance of family values in his public life.
Scandal

The scandal broke when photographs of Buccho and Vasquez leaving a hotel together were published, leading to widespread media coverage and public outrage. The affair has led to significant personal and political repercussions, with Buccho's wife reportedly moving out of their home and opposition parties calling for his resignation. He resigned after several weeks of pressure on 1.VI.1733 AN.
