Kálmán Ghyczy
Kálmán Ghyczy (born February 2, 1808 in Komárom , † February 28, 1888 in Budapest ) was a Hungarian lawyer and minister .
Life
Ghyczy studied law, was appointed advocate at the royal estate of Ráckeve on the Danube island of Csepel (in Pest county ) in 1830 , in 1833 as the first vice notary of the Comorner county with the title of senior notary, and in 1839 as a county notary. In 1843 he was elected to the Reichstag , where he showed great business acumen. At the same time he was elected the first vice span of his county, in 1847 promoted to protonotary at the royal table and then to protonotary (ordinary judge) at the September viral table, the highest court in the country.
In 1848 he became Undersecretary of Justice Ferenc Deák . He was also re-elected as a member of the Reichstag in 1848 by the Komorn County. After Deak resigned in September, Ghyczy headed the Ministry of Justice.
When the Reichstag started war with Austria in December, it withdrew into private life. In 1861 he was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies by Comorn County and became its President and leader of the Left.
In the settlement negotiations with Austria he advocated pure personal union, in 1867, as a member of the delegation, he tried to keep Hungary's quota for the joint budget as low as possible, but since the settlement himself stayed away from the opposition and the delegations.
It was not until 1873, when the Deák party dissolved, that he formed a middle party that took the standpoint of compromise. When the Ministry of József Szlávy resigned in March 1874 and the President of the Lower House, István Bittó , was entrusted with the creation of a new ministry, he gave Ghyczy the Ministry of Finance. On October 28th, Ghyczy submitted the budget for 1875 to the House of Commons and asked for a 25 percent surcharge on all taxes and some new taxes to cover the 28 million guilders deficit. When these proposals were not accepted, the Bittó ministry dismissed Ghyczy on February 11, 1875.
Ghyczy was re-elected President of the House of Commons on March 5. In April 1879 he resigned his parliamentary mandate and withdrew into private life.
