History
editThe 2017 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party.[1] As a result, the First Adrian Hasler cabinet was dissolved with Adrian Hasler continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2]
In 2019, Aurelia Frick, minister of foreign affairs, was subject to an embezzlement scandal where she was accused of misappropriating funds as a part of her duties.[3] In response, Hasler called for Frick to make an apology and to cooperate with the Landtag of Liechtenstein's audit commission regarding the investigation.[4] However, she refused to cooperate with the audit commission, and on 2 July 2019 the Landtag passed a motion of no confidence against her, and she was expelled from her position.[5][6] She was succeeded by Katrin Eggenberger.[7]
Near the end of the government's term, the cabinet was faced with the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic in Liechtenstein.[8]
On 27 May 2020, Hasler announced that he would not run for re-election.[9] The 2021 Liechtenstein general election Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[10] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and Hasler was succeeded by Daniel Risch in the Daniel Risch cabinet.[2][11]
