Sándor Simonyi-Semadam

Sándor Simonyi-Semadam was a Hungarian statesman who served as prime minister in 1919. His government, a coalition of the Christian National Union and the Smallholders, took office following the turbulent periods of the Károlyi and Kun regimes. This government declared null and void measures from the previous administrations and abolished the legislation of the Compromise of 1867, restoring the monarchy in principle, though its permanent reinstatement remained undecided. Admiral Miklós Horthy was elected regent as provisional head of state. Simonyi-Semadam's premiership was brief, and his government resigned shortly after Horthy's election.1
