János Hadik

Life

Hadik was a great-grandson of Andreas Hadik von Futak 's first son Johann. He graduated from the Theresian Military Academy and became a first lieutenant in the cavalry. In 1893 he resigned and married Countess Alexandra Zichy, with whom he had four children. In 1894 Hadik became a member of the Hungarian magnate house and in this position advocated church reform with a separation of church and state. Since 1901 he was a member of the Liberal Party in the Budapest Reichstag . From 1906 to 1910 Hadik was in the coalition government of Sándor Wekerle, State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior and thus the closest collaborator and supporter of Minister of the Interior Gyula Andrássy .

He temporarily withdrew from politics and from August 1917 to January 1918 he was finally minister without a portfolio , responsible for food production and distribution during the First World War .

Contrary to general expectations, at the end of the war King Károly , under the influence of Andrássy, appointed not Mihály Károlyi , but Hadik as prime minister, whereupon a mass demonstration in Budapest was violently broken up on October 28th. After the aster revolution that broke out , Hadik resigned and fled the country. On October 31, Archduke Joseph August of Austria , who was given royal power, finally appointed Károlyi as Prime Minister. After the war, Hadik exercised several functions in business and politics.
