I'm a student needing to translate the following
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.

Selected
used the occasion
As provided in your other question too. It already says he was inaugurated at the beginning of the text, so "the occasion" is enough here, I think.
Example sentence:
“…<u>aprovechó su puesta de largo</u> para poner sobre el tapete los ejes sobre los que pivotarán sus políticas.”
“...<u>used the occasion</u> to outline his key policy plans.”
