History
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 Patriotic Union and Progressive Citizens' Party once again entered into a coalition government.[4]
The government's term in office was marked by an effort to move the country away from being a tax haven.[5] It also included the passing of a same-sex registered partnership and Liechtenstein joining the Schengen Area in 2011.[6]
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][5][7]
