In Budapest the Hungarian Communist Party ousted Matyas Rakosi and Ernő Gerő, two former Stalinist leaders, from membership. A leading Stalinist was also fired from the Politburo along with 23 others, in a purge linked to the 1956 uprising and Rakosi’s era. FR Fred Gerő, 63, had fled to the Soviet Union but was allowed to return last year. Karoly Kiss lost his Politburo post.
