Boross, Peter (1928– )
Hungarian politician, prime minister 1993–94. Brought into Joszef Antall's government as a nonpolitical technocrat, he became deputy chair of the ruling Hungarian Democratic Forum in 1991 and acting prime minister during Antall's recurring bouts of illness. When Antall died in December 1993, Boross succeeded him, but lost office to Gyula Horn, of the ex-communist Hungarian Socialist Party, after his coalition was defeated in the July 1994 elections.
His introduction to politics and his subsequent rapid rise in government was almost entirely due to Antall's influence. He was interior minister 1990–93.
