Officials say that Arpad Goncz, a Hungarian who survived a communist-era life sentence to become the nation's first democratically chosen president after the fall of communism, has died. He was 93. Goncz's secretary, Andras Gulyas, told state news wire MTI that Goncz died Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2015 surrounded by his family. He did not give a cause of death. Though his post was largely ceremonial, Goncz was credited by many with deftly using his limited powers to enforce Hungary's fledgling democratic constitution, often putting him at odds with Hungary's first post-communist government.

BUDAPEŠŤ – Prvý postkomunistický prezident Maďarska, spisovateľ, prekladateľ a liberálny politik Árpád Göncz zomrel dnes v kruhu svojej rodiny. Mal 93 rokov. S odvolaním sa na vedúceho jeho sekretariátu o tom informovala tlačová agentúra MTI.

Göncz bol najobľúbenejším politikom Maďarska, napísala agentúra Reuters. Funkciu hlavy štátu zastával počas dvoch funkčných období od roku 1990 do roku 2000.

Maďarsko sa za jeho pôsobenia vo funkcii hlavy štátu transformovalo na trhovú ekonomiku a nastúpilo na cestu do NATO a Európskej únie.

Göncz pochádzal zo skromných pomerov. Keď sa ženil, musel si na svadbu so Zsuzsannou Göntérovou požičať sako a nohavice, pripomenul Reuters. Manželia mali štyri deti.
