Ex-premier Péter Boross quits MDF

By

Former prime minister Peter Boross confirmed for MTI on Monday that he would quit the conservative Democratic Forum (MDF) party.

The 81-year-old politician said he had informed the party board in a private letter about his intention but declined to comment the decision.

Boross broke off all relations with MDF leaders last summer. At that time he said in another letter quoted by the online version of the daily Magyar Nemzet that he preferred principles and ideals to political drifting “in the interest of supposed success”.

Boross joined MDF in August 1992 to become the party’s deputy leader in 1993.

He held the prime ministerial post after Jozsef Antall’s death, from December 1993 to July 1994.
