During the 1992 Liechtenstein constitutional crisis Frommelt, among other notable politicians, formed the ''Nonpartisan Committee for Monarchy and Democracy'' and called for a demonstration against Hans-Adam II's threatened dissolution of the Landtag due to disagreements regarding the date of a referendum to Liechtenstein's accession to the European Economic Area. As a result, approximately 2,000 people demonstrated in front of the government house in Vaduz.
