#anchor(Liberals make history)

Elisa Ubrique becomes the first president in the history of Lusitania and Vettonia. She obtained 300,000 more votes than the conservatives of former President Augusto Dominguez, and was thus officially proclaimed President of the Republic.

It is not yet clear who will be the next Governor General. But all bets point to a government of cohabitation with the current chief executive, Jose Miguel Orato, as Governor General as long as the Conservatives are the first parliamentary force.

The new president has a degree in law and economics. She has had a meteoric rise through the Liberal ranks, having risen from the mayor's office in Salamanca to the office of head of state. Considered a pragmatic and serious politician, she is expected to bring a sense of serenity to national politics.

Elisa Ubrique has announced that she will take important decisions in the first days of her term of office. She has announced an increase in military spending and the creation of a task force to address the problem of child begging. She has also said she will talk to major companies in Exluve to get them to invest outside the borders, and does not rule out short-term international trips to secure investment. In Ubrique's words: "It is time for our country to become an active member of the European Union, it is time for us to strengthen our external ties and move away from isolationism". There are also rumours of constitutional reform.

In addition, he has issued a threat to the Conservative Party. He warns that if they do not cooperate with the country's progress he could try to form a government with social democrats and federalists. Doing so would destroy the spirit of the grand coalition and put a stranglehold on the right-wing parties.

What is undeniable is that Lusitania and Vettonia has entered a new era. Much is expected of Ubrique, which comes to power at a time of economic slowdown.
