occurrence

On April 28, 1932, the Social Democrats applied for the dissolution of the National Council , which would have meant new elections. The Buresch government anticipated this by resigning. On May 10, 1932, Dollfuss was designated as Federal Chancellor by Federal President Wilhelm Miklas and charged with forming a new government. He offered the Social Democrats cooperation, but they demanded new elections. The Greater Germans also rejected a coalition. To prevent new elections, Dollfuss formed a coalition with the Landbund and the Heimatblock on May 20, 1932 , which had 83 of 165 votes in the National Council, a majority of just one vote.
