Description
P�ter Boross was the second Prime Minister of Hungary from December 1993 to July 1994. He came to power with the death of the previous PM, J�zsef Antall, and held office until his coalition was defeated in elections and he made way for his successor, Gyula Horn of the socialist party. He had previously served as interior minister under Antall from May 1990 to December 1993. He has also served as political advisor to prime minister Viktor Orb�n. He has been Member of Parliament between 2006 and 2009 and was long considered as a supporter of the Hungarian Democratic Forum party leader Ibolya D�vid. Recently, Boross has strongly opposed the nomination of ex-minister Lajos Bokros to the top of the list for the elections for the European Parliament in 2009. Due to the left-shift of his conservative party, which resulted in the exclusion of several prominent party members, Boross decided to break up all connection with the present party leadership on 13 June 2009. He finally left the party on January 2010.
On 6 June 2010 he became a member of the board besides Prime Minister Viktor Orb�n, which elaborated the concept of the new Hungarian constitution.
