Hungarian Communist Party Attacks Nagy Over Demagogic Promises
The Hungarian party central committee blasted Premier Imre Nagy for hollow promises that allegedly caused declines in heavy industry and agriculture. Moscow had rejected earlier consumer goods focus, and Nagy faced probable dismissal as Budapest signals shift under Malenkov influence. The ruling body accused Nagy of aiding bourgeois elements and right wing deviationists, with speculation on his replacement and potential power retention via the party. Nagy had been premier after Stalin's death, with unclear prospects of reclaiming the premiership as Hungary aligns with Soviet emphasis on industry.
