History

edit

In the 2013 Liechtenstein general election the Progressive Citizens' Party emerged as the largest party.[1] As a result, the Klaus Tschütscher cabinet was dissolved with Adrian Hasler succeeding Klaus Tschütscher as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2][3] The Independents, formed the same year, became an opposition party to the cabinet, making it the first cabinet two hold two opposition parties, along with the Free List.[1]

During the government's term, it worked on restructuring Liechtenstein's state budget.[4] The cabinet continued and expanded the tax cooperation agreements that had been done by its predecessors following the 2008 Liechtenstein tax affair, signing tax agreements with numerous countries, such as Italy and Austria.[4][5]

In the 2017 Liechtenstein general election the Progressive Citizens' Party lost a seat but remained narrowly the largest party.[6] As a result, the government was dissolved and succeeded by the Second Adrian Hasler cabinet.[3]
