The Third Hans Brunhart cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 30 April 1986 to 5 June 1989. It was appointed by Hans-Adam on behalf of Franz Joseph II and chaired by Hans Brunhart.

History

The 1986 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[1] As a result, the Second Hans Brunhart cabinet was succeeded with Hans Brunhart continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2][3]

During the government's term in office, Brunhart, along with Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein, held the presidency of the Committee of Ministers in 1987.[4]

Starting from August 1988, the Progressive Citizens' Party called for the Landtag of Liechtenstein to investigate allegations of power abuse within the Liechtenstein state court by judge Erich Seeger in 1985. However, the Patriotic Union refused to support it, and in response the Progressive Citizens' Party's Landtag members resigned in protest on 21 December 1988 and early elections were called.[5] The 1989 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[6] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by the Fourth Hans Brunhart cabinet.[3]
