Government formation, program

That Lubomír Štrougal, who, by advocating reforms, was increasingly in opposition to the conservative, Stalinist forces in the Communist Party (CPC), maneuvered himself particularly to the new General Secretary Miloš Jakeš , and on April 21, 1988, after only two years, a new one Was supposed to lead government was due to the constitutional law 42/1988 Coll. On changes of the central government organs, which was passed just two days before.

The next strain on the relationship between Lubomír Štrougal and the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPC came after his inauguration, when the Presidium criticized his declaration of May 3, 1988 and was attacked as "too weak". However, an interview by Štrougal, which he gave to the Viennese newspaper Die Presse on the occasion of his visit to Austria and which appeared on June 22, 1988 in the article "CSSR Premier urges reforms - same goals, different paths as 1968", caused particularly strong reactions. Strougal indicated here that the necessary economic reforms, which also include important market economy elements with simultaneous state regulation, must go hand in hand with a political restructuring of society; police measures against an international seminar organized by the opposition Charter 77 would not have been necessary either.

As a result of his conflicts with the conservative forces within the CPC, especially in the Presidium of the Central Committee (Miloš Jakeš and others), Štrougal resigned to the post of Prime Minister and resigned on October 10, 1988. At that time he was the longest-serving head of government in Europe (January 1970 to October 1988).
