Government of Ladislav Adamec

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Czechoslovak government Ladislav Adamec , led by the Prime Minister Ladislav Adamec , was in office from October 12, 1988 to December 10, 1989 (Prime Minister Ladislav Adamec resigned on December 7, 1989, until December 10, 1988 the government was acting run by Marián Čalfa). It followed the Lubomír Štrougal VI government and was replaced by the Marián Čalfa I government .

Government formation, program

Adamec's government was the last to function under the old communist regime. After the resignation of the sixth Štrougal government , Ladislav Adamec was tasked with forming a new government. In his government statement, Adamec identified the solution of the country's severe economic problems as the most urgent task of his government; indirectly he blamed the previous governments for the difficult economic situation.

During Adamec's tenure, one year after his appointment as prime minister, the former Eastern Bloc countries collapsed . As a result of the events of November 1989 in Czechoslovakia, commonly known as the Velvet Revolution , Adamec tried to defuse the situation by reshuffling the government on December 3, 1989 and filling eight ministries. The government was installed on December 3rd by President Husák. However, it again consisted mainly of members of the CPC (15 out of 20 members of the government belonged to the CPC) and met strong resistance from society, especially from the trade unions, who announced a general strike. Therefore Adamec decided on December 7th, 1989 to give up and proposed to entrust the previous minister Marián Čalfa with the composition of the new government . Čalfa provisionally headed the government until December 10, 1989; On that day, in the last official act of President Husák, he was appointed regular Prime Minister of the Marián Čalfa I government, without the previous government as a whole having officially resigned; Husák resigned immediately afterwards.

Government composition

The ministers were in office throughout the regular term of office (October 12, 1988 to December 10, 1989) unless otherwise stated.
