The First Mario Frick cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 15 December 1993 to 14 April 1997. It was appointed by Hans-Adam II and was chaired by Mario Frick.
History
October 1993 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[1] As a result, the Markus Büchel cabinet was dissolved with Mario Frick succeeding Markus Büchel as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2][3] He became Europe's youngest head of government at the time at 28 years old.[4]
During the government's term, Liechtenstein entered the European Economic Area after a successful referendum in 1995, and also joined the World Trade Organization the same year.[5][6] However, it also faced problems in its foreign relations, such as a dispute with the Czech Republic begun in 1992 over the confiscation of Princely properties estates in 1945.
The 1997 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[7] As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and succeeded by the Second Mario Frick cabinet.[2][8]
