Government / Politics / I'm a student needing to translate the following

Spanish term or phrase: puesto de largo

Fabra, que fue investido ayer jefe del Consell con los votos a favor de los 55 diputados del PP y la negativa de toda la oposición, aprovechó su puesta de largo para poner sobre el tapete los ejes sobre los que pivotarán sus políticas.

I'm not sure if "debut" is the word to use in politics. I've thought perhaps first address or something like that.
