Minister-president

A minister-president or minister president is the head of government in any of a number of European countries or subnational governments, in which a parliamentary or semi-presidential system of government prevails, who presides over the council of ministers. It is an alternative term for prime minister, premier, chief minister or first minister, and very similar to the title of President of the Council.

The German word Ministerpräsident means "president of the ministers". The designation "minister-president" is less frequently used in English; often politicians holding titles that literally correspond to "minister-president" are referred to in English as premiers or first ministers (typically at the subnational level) or prime ministers (typically at the national level).

From 1867 to 1918, the first minister of the government was known as Ministerpräsident (minister-president), before that Staatskanzler (chancellor of state). Today the head of the Austrian Federal Government is called the Bundeskanzler (federal chancellor), while the head of a state government is called the Landeshauptmann (literally "state captain"), not Ministerpräsident.

The term minister-president (Dutch: minister-president, French: ministre-président, German: Ministerpräsident) is also used in Belgium to describe the head of government of a Belgian region or linguistic community, but not the head of the Belgian federal government who is referred to as the prime minister (Dutch: eerste minister, French: premier ministre, German: Premierminister).
