HUNGARY SOCIALISTS PICK MILLIONAIRE FOR PM
As reports AzerTAj earlier, because of the conflict within the governvent was resign a premier minister of Hungary Peter Middesheyi. The ruling Socialist Party chose one of Hungary's richest businessmen on Wednesday to become the new prime minister, resolving a split with a smaller party that had threatened to undo the center-left governing coalition.
Ferenc Gyurcsany, a centrist reformer who was sports minister, still must be formally approved as head of government by parliament, where the Socialists and the liberal Alliance of Free Democrats hold a narrow majority.
Gyurcsany replaces Peter Medgyessy, who announced last week that he was stepping down as prime minister after losing the parliamentary support of the Free Democrats. The party withdrew its backing after Medgyessy tried to fire one of its members from the Cabinet.
