The 1972 Gleitzmann inauguration protests was a series of demonstrations in Besmenia, mainly in the capital Laitstadt but also in other larger cities, against the inauguration of the controversial right-wing BVP-BRP federal government under Prime Minister Robert Gleitzmann, which was supported by numerous left-wing groups and organizations.
Background
Prior to 1972
During the Besmenian division in the late 1950s, the West Besmenian state party Besmenian National Union (BNU) had made contacts with the East Besmenian right-wing Besmenian Republican Party (BRP). Both parties established friendly relations and cooperation. After the Besmenian reunification and the ban of the BNU, many former BNU politicians joined the BRP, which led to the formation of groups within the BRP that shared views of Ochsenbeinism.
In April 1969, then Mayor and Governor of Laitstadt Robert Gleitzmann was elected party leader of the Besmenian People's Party (BVP). Under Gleitzmann's leadership, the BVP took an increasingly right-wing populist course. This led to the BVP increasingly being classified as a right-wing party and to the resignation of many politicians from the centre-right wing, most notably the then Foreign Minister Erwin Pohl.
