Theprime minister of Hungary (Hungarian:Magyarország miniszterelnöke) is thehead of government ofHungary and the leader of theHungarian cabinet.

Background

[edit]

The office of prime minister was formally established during theHungarian Revolution of 1848, under theApril Laws sanctioned byKing Ferdinand V. The first prime minister wasLajos Batthyány, who took office on 17 March 1848, marking the beginning of constitutional and parliamentary government in Hungary.^[1]

Following the outbreak of the revolution, growing tensions between theHungarian Diet and theAustrian imperial court led to Batthyány's resignation in September 1848. On 3 October 1848, Emperor Ferdinand appointed CountÁdám Récsey as prime minister, though this appointment was made without the approval of the Diet and was therefore unconstitutional under the April Laws.^[2]

Récsey attempted to dissolve the Hungarian Diet and reassert royal authority, but his actions were rejected by Hungarian leaders and the revolutionary government led byLajos Kossuth. His term lasted only a few days. After Emperor Ferdinand abdicated on 7 October 1848 in favor of his nephewFranz Joseph I, Récsey was forced to resign and was briefly arrested.^[3]

The office of prime minister was restored following theAustro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, which created theLands of the Crown of Saint Stephen within theDual Monarchy. Since then, the prime minister has remained the head of government, responsible for directing the executive branch and leading the cabinet.^[4]

After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918, Hungary experienced several regime changes, including theFirst Hungarian Republic, theHungarian Soviet Republic, and thesecond Kingdom of Hungary without a reigning monarch. The prime minister's role continued throughout these periods, though its powers varied depending on the form of government.^[5]

FollowingWorld War II, Hungary became aPeople's Republic underSoviet influence, during which the office of prime minister continued in name but held limited power under the Communist Party.^[6] After thefall of communism in 1989, Hungary re-established itself as a democratic parliamentary republic, and the prime minister once again became the head of a freely elected government accountable to theNational Assembly.^[7]

The current prime minister isViktor Orbán, who has served since29 May 2010.
