About Károly Peyer

  • Károly Peyer (9 May 1881 – 25 October 1956) was a Hungarian politician who served as Interior Minister for six days after the end of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919.
  • He was later Minister of Works in the cabinets of István Friedrich and Károly Huszár.
  • He took part in the consolidation policy of István Bethlen in 1921: as the leader of the main opposition party (the Hungarian Social Democratic Party) he compromised with the Prime Minister (the Bethlen-Peyer Pact).
  • Peyer was called "betrayer of the left-wing" by the communists. In 1947 Peyer was excluded from his party, so he joined to the Hungarian Radical Party, which organised against communist rule.
  • Soon Peyer emigrated to the United States.
  • The next year the People's Tribunal sentenced him to 8 years. Peyer died of a heart attack on 25 October 1956, while listening to the news of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, which broke out two days earlier.
