The Klaus Tschütscher cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 25 March 2008 to 27 March 2013. It was appointed by regent Alois on behalf of Hans-Adam II and chaired by Klaus Tschütscher

History

[edit]

The 2009 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[1] As a result, the Second Otmar Hasler cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by Klaus Tschütscher as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2][3]

The government's term in office was marked by an effort to move the country away from being a tax haven.[4] On 1 May 2011 two additional cabinet positions were established.[5]

Tschütscher did not stand for re-election in the 2013 Liechtenstein general election and was succeeded by Adrian Hasler in the First Adrian Hasler cabinet on 27 March 2013.[3][4]
