Lubomír Štrougal IV government
The Czechoslovak government Lubomír Štrougal IV , led by Prime Minister Lubomír Štrougal , was in office from June 17, 1981 to June 16, 1986. It succeeded the Lubomír Štrougal III government and was replaced by the Lubomír Štrougal V government .
Government formation, program
The new government was formed after the general elections to the representative bodies of Czechoslovakia at all levels on June 5 and 6, 1981. After the XVI. At the congress of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in April 1981, an apparent stability of the system was demonstrated by no criticism or changes in personal details worth mentioning, the new, fourth government of Lubomír Štrougal also became an expression of a status quo . As a particular challenge, the government declaration only mentioned the drafting and adoption of the seventh five-year plan along with some corrections in the area of construction investments, modernization, etc.
However, this only partially corresponds to the real situation. The country's economic problems gradually became clearer. At the beginning of the 1980s, however, the aftermath of the attempted breakout of the ordained normalcy, Charter 77 (and its VONS committee ), still persisted , conditions in Hungary relaxed slightly, and especially in Poland the free trade union Solidarność , which emerged in 1980 from a strike movement. The erosion of the system came to light at the end of this government's term of office when Gorbachev was elected general secretary of the CPSU Central Committee in March 1985.
