The Markus Büchel Brunhart cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 26 March to 15 December 1993. It was appointed by Hans-Adam II and was chaired by Markus Büchel.
History
The February 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party. As a result, the Fourth Hans Brunhart cabinet was dissolved with Markus Büchel succeeding Hans Brunhart as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. Cornelia Gassner became the first female government councillor in this cabinet.
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.
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. The subsequent October 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union. As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and Büchel was succeeded by Mario Frick as prime minister in the First Mario Frick cabinet.
