History
editThe February 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party.[1] As a result, the Fourth Hans Brunhart cabinet was dissolved with Markus Büchel succeeding Hans Brunhart as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2] Cornelia Gassner became the first female government councillor in this cabinet.[3]
During the government's term, Büchel co-signed the Constitution of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, though notably without consultation from the Landtag of Liechtenstein.[4]
The cabinet's composition was the subject of controversy, particularly within the Progressive Citizens' Paty. On 14 September 1993, the Landtag passed a motion of no confidence against Büchel following a request by the party to do so. The following day, Hans-Adam II dismissed both the government and the Landtag.[5] The subsequent October 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[6] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and Büchel was succeeded by Mario Frick as prime minister in the First Mario Frick cabinet.[2]
