Landsstýrismenn

Landsstýrismenn is the Faroese term for members of the Faroese government. The Faroese government, known as the Landsstýri, is the executive branch of the government of the Faroe Islands, a self-governing archipelago and territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. The Landsstýri is composed of a Prime Minister, known as the Løgmaður, and several other ministers who head specific government departments. These ministers are appointed by the Prime Minister and are responsible for various policy areas such as finance, fisheries, culture, and foreign affairs.

The Landsstýrismenn collectively administer the day-to-day affairs of the Faroe Islands and are accountable to the Løgting, the Faroese parliament. The number of ministers and the specific portfolios they hold can vary depending on the political composition of the government following an election. Each minister typically oversees a ministry, which is a government department responsible for a particular area of public administration. The government's primary role is to implement laws passed by the Løgting and to manage the public services of the Faroe Islands. The Landsstýrismenn are key figures in Faroese politics, responsible for shaping and executing the policies that govern the islands.
