History
[edit]The 1970 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union, making it the first time the party had held a majority since its formation in 1936.[1][2] As a result, the Third Gerard Batliner cabinet was dissolved with Alfred Hilbe succeeding Gerard Batliner as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[3][4][5]
During the government's term, it pioneered reforms of Liechtenstein's school system and efforts to address women's suffrage in Liechtenstein via two separate referendums on the topic in 1971 and 1973, though unsuccessful. In addition, it included the reopening of the Liechtenstein National Museum in 1972.[6]
The 1974 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party and as a result the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by Walter Kieber as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein in the Walter Kieber cabinet.[4][5][7]
