Albanese: "Australia agradece la contribución de la Reina Isabel II"

El primer ministro de Australia ha defendido este lunes un antiguo protocolo que prohíbe que el parlamento de la nación se reúna durante 15 días tras la muerte de un monarca británico.

Anthony Albanese ha retrasado dos semanas la sesión del Parlamento de esta semana debido a la muerte de la reina Isabel II, a los 96 años de edad.

Los legisladores volverán a reunirse el viernes 23 de septiembre para debatir una moción de condolencia por la difunta monarca, la fecha más temprana que permite el protocolo, dijo Albanese, según informa Ap.

Dado que el último monarca británico murió en 1952, pocos conocían el protocolo australiano.

"Esta es la primera vez que tenemos un cambio de jefe de Estado y en la que nos encontramos en una posición en la que Australia necesita, y quiere, agradecer la contribución de la Reina Isabel II como nuestra jefa de Estado durante 70 años. Un día festivo único y un Día Nacional de Luto es una respuesta apropiada. Fue acordado por mí mismo y por los primeros ministros", ha dicho Albanese.

En Melbourne, las autoridades del estado de Victoria celebraron una ceremonia para proclamar oficialmente al rey Carlos III.

Australia y Nueva Zelanda, dos excolonias británicas, son independientes desde hace décadas pero mantienen al rey o reina de Inglaterra como jefe de Estado.
