The Prime Minister of Besmenia (Besmenian: Ministerpräsident von Besmenien) is the head of government in the Federal Republic of Besmenia.
Together with the federal ministers, he forms the Besmenian government. According to the Basic Law, the Besmenian Prime Minister determines the guidelines for politics. In practice, however, he must take into account the ideas of his own party and the coalition partners. He is also considered to be the most powerful Besmenian politician in the country, even though he is third in the protocolary ranking. The Prime Minister proposes the Federal Ministers to the President. Without this proposal, the President cannot appoint anyone as Federal Minister. Without the participation of the President, the Prime Minister appoints one of the Federal Ministers as his official deputy, who is officially referred to as Vice Prime Minister.
The current Prime Minister is Elisabeth Rademacher (BVP). She was elected as the 16th Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Besmenia on September 9, 2021 and was subsequently appointed by the President. She is at the head of a coalition made up of BVP, SDU and GPB.
History
Election
Similar to the President, there are three rules that a Prime Minister candidate must adhere to.
- The Prime Minister candidate must be a citizen of Besmenia
- The Prime Minister candidate must be at least 28 years old
- The Prime Minister candidate must have lived in Besmenia for at least 15 years
The Prime Minister candidate is nominated and confirmed by his political party for the four-year federal election.
Residence
The Prime Minister's office and residence has been in the Federal House since 1973. The Federal House was built between 1969 and 1973 on Leina Island in the Mitte district in Laitstadt. After the construction was completed in May 1973, Robert Gleitzmann moved into the Federal House in September 1973 as the first Prime Minister. It replaced Bertrecht's Palace as the seat of the Prime Minister from 1920-1973. The building also houses a private apartment for the Prime Minister and his family. The private apartment is voluntary, which means that the Prime Minister can decide for himself whether he will use it or not. So far Kurt Stöger, Theodor Sidemann and Richard Benkel have waived the private apartment of the Federal House.
