  Prime Minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The post of prime minister is one which may be encountered both in constitutional monarchies (such as Belgium, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and in republics in which the head of state is an elected (such as France) or unelected official (such as Germany) with varying degrees of real power.
Contrary to popular and journalistic myth, most prime ministers in parliamentary systems are not appointed for a specific term of office and in effect may remain in power through a number of elections and parliaments.
In many cases, though commonly used, "prime minister" is not the official title of the office-holder; the Spanish prime minister is the President of the Government (Presidente del Gobierno).

 Prime Minister
A prime minister is the chief member of the cabinet in a parliamentary system of government, or alternatively an official in a presidential system or semi-presidential system whose duty is to execute the directives of the President and manage the civil service.
In some monarchies the prime minister exercises powers (known as the Royal Prerogative) which are constitutionally vested in the monarch and which can be exercised without the approval of parliament.
Prime Ministers can be found in both constitutional monarchies (as is the case in the United Kingdom, Norway and Japan), and in republics, where the head of state is an elected or unelected official with varying degrees of real power.

After two years as Prime Minister (1953-1955), during which he promoted his "New Course" Nagy was forced to resign and was expelled from the Communist Party by hardline colleagues, including First Secretary Mátyás Rákosi as a result of the liberalizing tendency that he showed in this office.

In his own defence, the prime minister speaks contemptuously of the 'demagogues and charlatans' who have capitalised on the unfocused discontent felt by the many Hungarians and east Europeans who are worse off since communism's demise.
A close adviser better explains the prime minister's reluctance: 'Antall is a political animal and he knows that Csurka has 5 to 10 per cent support in the population.

To make matters even more difficult for the new prime minister, the Free Democrats (Szabad Demokraták Szövetsége, or SZDSZ), whose 20 votes give the Socialists their 10-seat majority, had a rocky relationship with the communist regime’s security forces and were already hesitant to join a coalition with the Communist Party’s direct political descendents.
The prime minister says he will sue Magyar Nemzet for publishing stories alleging that he informed on his friends in the 1960s and that he wrote reports on “counter revolutionary activities” in 1978.
Hungary’s communist regime was looser than many in the Soviet Bloc, but many Hungarians still remember the failed nationalist revolution of 1956, when the Hungarian special police—backed by Soviet reinforcements—crushed a nationalist rebellion, killing hundreds and imprisoning more than 25,000.
