Anthony Albanese, the current prime minister of Australia, has obtained a new mandate following the federal elections, in an election that represented a harsh blow for the conservative opposition led by Peter Dutton, CNN reports.
Australians opted for continuity and stability, against the backdrop of a world more tense by the policies of US President Donald Trump. Following the vote, the leader of the opposition, Peter Dutton, lost his place in Parliament, which he has been occupying for more than two decades, and acknowledged his defeat.
This choice in favor of a left -wing government comes after a similar result in Canada, where the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carry, was preferred by voters. Canada was recently threatened by Trump with the transformation into “The 51st US State”.
Although Australia does not face direct risks to his sovereignty, Donald Trump's economic and political decisions, such as imposing customs tariffs, have shaken the Australians in the traditional alliance with the United States, according to the latest polls.
Albanese's victory is a historical one, becoming the first Australian leader Reales after more than 20 years. The current estimates show that the Labor Party will have at least 87 of the 150 places in the lower chamber of Parliament.
“In this period of global uncertainty, the Australians chose optimism and determination“Albanese told Sydney, in front of his supporters.
Shortly after announcing the results, several international leaders sent greeting messages. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said “Remote friendships can prove the most powerful“, While the US Secretary of State Rubio called Australia”a valuable ally ”.
During the previous term, Albanese's government was firmly opposed to the Decision of the Trump administration to impose 10% customs tariffs on Australian products, which was eventually suspended. Albanese commented then that customs barriers are not “The gesture that a friend would make” and warned that in front of the Washington tariff offensive, “No place on earth is safe”.
On the other hand, the opposition adopted a pro-trump rhetoric, using slogans inspired by its campaigns, such as “Let's make Australia again great”, Strategy that was not successful in front of voters.
